FAQ: What It’s Like to Work with Rita on Your Template Design

If your business doesn’t have a designer on hand or you’re not satisfied with your current templates, Rita is here to help. As Timplates’ design expert, she specialises in creating beautiful and functional templates from scratch. Here are some of the most common questions clients ask about the design process to give you an insight into what it’s like to work with Rita.

Q1: What happens if I don’t have any designs to provide?

No existing designs? Not a problem! I’ll start with your brand guidelines including your logo, fonts, and colour palette and create a custom design from scratch. We’ll collaborate to make sure the look and feel align with your vision and works seamlessly for your team.

Q2: How does the process start?

The process begins with a conversation. We’ll have an initial meeting to understand your goals, challenges, and preferences. From there, I’ll develop design concepts, which we’ll refine together before finalising the final build.

Q3: What if I already have a design but I’m not happy with it?

That’s a common situation. If your current design that isn’t working, I can start fresh keeping what’s useful, improving what isn’t, and create something that’s both beautiful and functional.

Q4: How do you make sure the design is practical for everyday use?

I design with the end-user in mind focusing on clean and intuitive, adding placeholders for text and images, and ensuring everything works smoothly within the platform. The goal is to create a design that’s professional and is easy for your team to use.

Q5: What platforms do you design for?

I specialise in designing templates for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. These platforms are commonly used for professional documents and presentations, and I ensure the designs fit their functionality perfectly.

Q6: What if my team needs extra collateral, like a letterhead?

I can definitely help with that. In addition to templates, I design collateral such as letterheads, certificates, etc. ensuring they align with your brand and are ready for use.

Q7: How do you handle the limitations of platforms like Word or PowerPoint?

Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the capabilities and limitations of these platforms. I design with those in mind, pushing boundaries where possible while keeping the final result functional and buildable. It’s about fully leveraging the platform’s capabilities.

Q8: What’s it like to collaborate with you during the project?

Collaboration is key. The Timplates team will keep you updated throughout the design process and involve you in refining the design to make sure it meets your expectations. If there’s anything you’re unsure about, we’re here to guide you and make adjustments as needed.

Q9: What makes your designs different from other template designs?

Our designs are built specifically for functionality. I don’t just focus on aesthetics—I consider how the template will be used daily. By combining design expertise with technical understanding, we create templates that look great and actually work for your team.

Q10: What’s the most rewarding part of working on a client’s design?

Seeing the final product in action is highly rewarding. Whether it’s a new design or a revision of an unsatisfactory one, knowing we’ve created a solution that simplifies their workday is truly fulfilling.
