The real problem

Figma got you the client.
Systems are what keep the money.

Most junior freelancers don’t fail at design. They fail at the business around it — and no bootcamp teaches that part.

🌀

Scope creep

“One small change” turns into 30 unpaid revisions because nothing was written down.

📉

Undercharging

You guess a price, feel guilty, and quietly earn less than minimum wage per hour.

🧩

Handoff chaos

Developers rebuild from screenshots, miss states, and blame the design files.

🕳

No paper trail

Verbal agreements vanish the moment a client “forgets” what was promised.

The UX Freelancer OS closes all four holes with one Notion workspace you duplicate once and reuse for every client, forever.

Developer Handoff Checklist

The lead-magnet that started it all: a 100+ point Notion checklist covering design-system cleanup, asset export, annotations & redlining, and a sign-off protocol that ends “the design didn’t say that” forever.

  • 4 phases + final sign-off block
  • Works on the free Notion plan
  • Yours to edit and reuse on every project

What’s inside the OS

Five systems. One dashboard.
Every client, handled.

Duplicate it once, then run each new client through the same proven path — from first call to final sign-off.

SYSTEM 01
🤝

Client Onboarding Hub

Kickoff questionnaire, stakeholder map and project brief template. Start every engagement with the answers you need before you open Figma.

SYSTEM 02
📜

Contract & SOW Template

Scope, deliverables, revision rounds, kill fee, IP transfer and payment schedule — the clauses that stop scope creep in writing.

SYSTEM 03
📊

Client Kanban Tracker

One board for every client: statuses, deadlines, feedback rounds and invoices. Know exactly where every project stands in 5 seconds.

SYSTEM 04
🔧

Developer Handoff Checklist

The full 100+ point version: tokens, breakpoints, interactive states, asset exports, meeting agenda and a signed sign-off protocol.

SYSTEM 05
💰

Freelance Rate Calculator

Income goal in, confident rate out — with taxes, overhead and non-billable time baked in. Try the mini version below.

Video Walkthrough & Quick Start

A 2-minute setup video plus a “first client in 7 days” quick-start path, so you’re never staring at an empty template.

How it works

Setup takes less time than your standup

Buy & get instant access

Checkout takes a minute (card or PayPal). You immediately receive the duplicate link by email and on the thank-you page.

Duplicate to your Notion

One click copies the entire OS into your workspace — free Notion plan included. It becomes 100% yours to customize.

Run clients through it

New client? Start at the Onboarding Hub. Design done? Follow the Handoff Checklist. Same calm process, every single time.

Mini rate calculator

What is your work actually worth?

Move the sliders — this is the simplified version of the Rate Calculator inside the OS. Most juniors discover they’ve been charging 2–3× too little.

The OS version adds currency switching, per-project buffers, value-based pricing tiers and a proposal-ready breakdown.

Your confident minimum rate
$75/hr
Day rate (8 h)$600
Mid-size project (~60 h)$4,500+
Walk-away floor (−20%)$60/hr

Below your floor, every “yes” is a loss. The OS shows you exactly how to say the number out loud — and put it in a contract.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need a paid Notion plan?
No. Everything works on Notion’s free plan. You duplicate the template into your own workspace and it becomes fully yours to edit.
I have zero clients yet. Is this still useful?
Especially useful. The Contract & SOW and Rate Calculator are exactly what you need before your first paid project — they prevent the classic beginner mistakes of underpricing and unlimited revisions.
Is the contract template legal advice?
No. It’s a practical, field-tested starting point written to cover the most common freelance pitfalls (scope, revisions, kill fee, IP, payment terms). For your jurisdiction and high-value contracts, have a local lawyer review it once — then reuse it forever.
How do I receive the templates after purchase?
Instantly. Lemon Squeezy emails you the access link right after payment, and the thank-you page shows the duplicate button. Keep the email — it’s your permanent access to updates.
What if it’s not for me?
You’re covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee. Reply to your receipt email or write to hello@designnexus.space and you’ll get a full refund, no interrogation.
Will the templates be updated?
Yes — every improvement is free, forever. A version log inside the dashboard shows what changed in each update.
How will I be charged?
In USD, via secure checkout powered by Lemon Squeezy (Stripe cards, Apple Pay, PayPal). Lemon Squeezy is the merchant of record and handles VAT/sales tax for you.

Your next client could sign today.
