Time Tracking for Independent Designers Managing Client Hours
Design Studios time tracking
Teetrack helps independent designers track their own hours per project, monitor budgets, and report client work based on real effort — not estimates.
Why Design Studios struggle with time tracking
Designers bounce between projects and lose track of where hours went
In a busy studio, a designer might work on three client projects in a single day — logo refinement, a web layout, and a presentation deck. Without structured logging, hours blur together and project profitability becomes invisible.
Project scopes expand but budgets stay fixed
Clients add pages, request new mockups, or change direction mid-project. Studio leads absorb the extra work because there is no clear record of how many hours the scope change added.
Utilization across the team is a mystery until month-end
Studio managers need to know which designers are overloaded and which have capacity. Without team-wide time data, resource allocation is based on feel rather than numbers.
How Teetrack solves this
- Hours blurring across projects: Log your own time per project and task to see clearly where your design hours are going.
- Budget overruns from scope changes: Set project budgets and track your own hours in real time so scope creep is visible before it erodes your margins.
