For designers who’d rather be designing.

A narrated explainer of DOCUVE Studio. Client paperwork usually lives in separate files with the same details retyped. In the studio, the designer enters the project once: client, scope, price and milestones. They add their brand, review the six documents (brief, proposal, design agreement, revision request, handoff and invoice), edit the wording, export the invoice as a PDF and mark each document as not started, drafted or sent. Captions are available.

The problem

Client paperwork shouldn’t take longer than the design.

Every new project starts the same way

  • Open the last client’s proposal. Find-and-replace the name. Fix the dates. Retype the scope.
  • Do it again for the agreement. And again for the invoice.
  • Hope the last client’s name isn’t still on page 3.

And rushed paperwork shows up later

  • “Can you just tweak one more thing?” There’s no revision limit in writing.
  • The invoice total doesn’t quite match the proposal, so the client questions it.
  • “Where are the final files?” Three weeks after you delivered them.

You became a designer to design. Not to be your own admin department.

How it works

One entry. Six documents. Your brand on every page.

What a project looks like with Docuve

  1. Day one

    The client gets a clear brief and a branded proposal. You look like a studio, not a solo freelancer.

  2. Mid-project

    Revision rounds are in the agreement. When feedback comes, it’s counted against what you both signed.

  3. At the end

    A clean handoff, and an invoice that matches the proposal to the cent. Nothing to argue about.

All from one project entry, in about 10 minutes.

The system

Every document stops an argument before it starts.

Why it works: templates make you retype the same details into every file. Docuve pulls every document from one source, so the name, price, dates and scope match everywhere, every time.

Theo, the designer who built Docuve

Who’s behind it

Built by a designer, for my own client work.

I’m Theo, a UI/UX designer. I built Docuve because I was tired of retyping the same client details into six files, and of nearly sending a proposal with the last client’s name on it. I use it on my own projects, and I share the real numbers of building it on X (@TheoKode_).

Before you buy

Fair questions.

“I already use Canva / Notion / Google Docs templates.”
Templates make you retype the details into every file. Docuve fills all six from one entry, so nothing gets out of sync.
“I use HoneyBook / Bonsai.”
Those are full client platforms with monthly fees. Docuve does one thing, your documents, for a one-time price, and keeps your data on your device.
“Is $12 too cheap to be any good?”
It’s the founding price for the first 50 designers. The regular price is $19. Watch the demo and judge the documents yourself. If they’re not good enough, the refund is yours.
“What if my browser data gets wiped?”
Your projects live on your device, not on a server, which is good for privacy. Use Backup export (one click) and they’re safe anywhere.
“Will it fit my kind of design work?”
Every word in every document is editable. Branding, web and UI projects work out of the box.
“I don’t have time to set up another tool.”
No account, no onboarding. Open it, enter one project, export. First document in about 10 minutes.

14-day refund. No questions.

Use Docuve on a real project. If it doesn’t save you time or make your documents better, email me within 14 days and I’ll refund you in full. No forms, no “why.”

Stuck or have a question? Email me at printit.studio1@gmail.com. I reply within 48 hours. Updates are free, forever.

Your next project deserves better paperwork.

Start right. Protect the scope. Get paid. One entry, six branded documents, and nothing to retype ever again.

Questions

Is there a refund?

Yes. 14 days, full refund, no questions. Email printit.studio1@gmail.com.

Where is my data stored?

On your device, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Projects don’t sync between devices, so use Backup export to move them or keep them safe. Clearing your browser’s site data deletes them, so back up important work.

Is the agreement legal advice?

No. It’s an editable starting point with clauses for scope, revisions and payment. Review it for your project and local rules, and consult a professional when needed.

Is it a subscription?

No. Pay once, use it forever, with free updates.

Do I need an account?

No. Open it and start.

Can I use it for unlimited clients?

Yes. Unlimited projects and clients for your own freelance work.

Can it match my brand?

Yes. Logo or monogram, studio name, accent colour and payment details, applied to every document. Two styles: Editorial and Minimal.

What paper sizes?

A4 and US Letter PDFs.

What’s the Get-Paid Kit?

Contract clauses, client message scripts and sample projects, coming soon. Founding buyers get it free.

Is it only for designers?

It’s built around design projects, but every word is editable, so illustrators, photographers and other freelancers use it too.
