$100 paid research session (US only) for freelance web designers

We are conducting paid product research with U.S.-based freelance web designers, developers, and owners of small web agencies who work directly with clients.

This is a 60-minute live working session, not a sales call. We want to understand how web professionals move from a website request or launch into ongoing growth work, and where an integrated AI-assisted workflow might or might not fit.

We are researching an AI-assisted growth workspace that connects strategy, websites and funnels, campaigns, content, automation, and reporting in one workflow.

WHO WE WANT TO SPEAK WITH

- You are based in the United States.

- You are an active freelance web designer, developer, or owner of a small web agency.

- You work directly with business owners or marketing decision makers.

- You contribute to decisions beyond the build, such as messaging, conversion, SEO or AEO, landing pages, content, campaigns, analytics, or post-launch improvements.

- You use one or more client platforms such as WordPress, Webflow, Unbounce, GoHighLevel, Shopify, Squarespace, or another stack.

- You have opinions about when to keep an existing platform, add a new tool, or change the workflow.

- You will bring a real-world use case that you have worked on or are currently working on to the live trial.

WHAT THE SESSION INCLUDES

- A discussion about your client work, platforms, tools, and post-launch opportunities

- A live exercise using the real-world use case you bring

- Questions about what was useful, what was missing, and whether you would use the workflow yourself, include it in a service, recommend it to clients, or not use it

We are intentionally open to different hypotheses. Strong platform specialists, broader growth operators, freelancers, and small agency owners may all be useful if they work directly with clients and can explain their decisions.

THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A FIT IF

- You only execute fully specified build orders and do not contribute to client decisions.

- You do not currently work with clients.

- You cannot bring a real-world use case to the live trial.

PAYMENT

- Fixed price: $100

- Time required: 60 minutes

- Payment will be made through Upwork after the completed session.

IMPORTANT

- U.S.-based applicants only.

- We want candid feedback, including reasons the workflow would not fit your business.

- Generic applications that do not answer the two screening questions will not be considered.

To apply, answer both screening questions with specific examples.
