Stop juggling five tools
A CRM for freelance designers and small studios: clients, contacts, projects, campaigns and tasks all live in one place, so nothing depends on someone remembering which app it was in.
The calm workspace behind a busy little agency
See every client's retainer as it happens, not at invoice time.
Clients, projects, time, retainers and invoices in one simple workspace, with a client portal branded as yours. Made for studios of one to ten who've outgrown spreadsheets.
No card needed. Then £15 per user per month.
Built solo and tested by a working freelance designer. Read the story.
Engineered for the boutique studio workflow.
Replacing the joins between a spreadsheet, a chat app and a lot of memory
Project management for creative agencies →Know what everyone's actually doing
Marketing agency management software that stays readable: Kanban, calendar, workload and logged time in one view, so you can see where the week is going before it goes there.
Retainers and ad hoc, both handled
Retainer billing software for agencies that also covers ad hoc work. Track committed hours, rollover and overage, get approval on quotes, then invoice from what actually happened.
Clients see real progress, not guesswork
A client portal for design agency work, branded as yours, where clients approve estimates, follow their projects, comment on work, collect final deliveries and see their invoices.
A companion that prepares your day
Orbit reads your studio each morning, tells you what matters, suggests the next best task and quietly flags anything drifting.
Made for three people, not three hundred
No admin overhead, no seat maths, no enterprise onboarding. It works from the first afternoon you use it.
How Orbit actually works, before you commit to anything
Read the guide →Add a client, and Orbit gives them a home: contacts, brand assets, a running history, everything in one place instead of scattered across a spreadsheet and a shared inbox. Projects sit underneath, campaigns and tasks underneath those, so a studio juggling three things for the same client never loses track of which piece is which.
Time gets logged against the client it belongs to, not a vague internal bucket, so a retainer's usage is a fact you can see rather than something you reconstruct at invoicing time. When work goes out for approval, it happens where the work already lives, and the client sees it too, through a portal branded as yours rather than a vendor dashboard they have to be taught to use.
Invoices are built from what actually happened during the month, not retyped from memory. And each morning, Orbit looks at your studio and tells you what's worth knowing before the day gets away from you.
None of it takes an onboarding call to set up. Most studios are using it for real within the first afternoon.
Why Orbit exists
Orbit started when I watched a friend run his freelance design business across five apps that didn't talk to each other. I built the tool I wished he had, and he has tested it from the beginning. A lot of what's in Orbit is there because he pushed back until it worked for how he really runs his business. I build it solo alongside a full time job, so if you email, you're emailing me.
