Digital Butlers Studio, Lemessus (2026)

09/12/2025

Even with the year winding down, November saw us at full capacity. Most projects came from our regular employers. This is the best illustration of our core strength: the ability to solve complex problems and build long-term trust.

📊 In numbers:

· 3,500 total work hours, with 1,800 dedicated to billable employer projects.
· Internal tasks decreased by 280 hours.

🎯 Webflow template sales hit a yearly record (€1,768). The «Proforma» template was purchased 16 times.

🔹 InFaces Project
We have almost completed the third part of the project about inDrive employees who balance their main jobs with socially significant initiatives. Overall, the design maintains the web journal’s signature branding, but the main page has its own distinct visual style. Interactive elements (like thematic illustrations appearing on hover) instantly immerse the user in the story.

We’ll showcase the complete project after launch.

📈 Deepening Our Focus on Analytics
A year ago, we decided to shift from building «just websites» to creating products that deliver measurable results.

Analytics (Google Analytics) is now integrated from the very beginning of a project to track user behavior immediately.

Previously, we relied on external contractors for analytics; now, we’ve decided to develop this expertise in-house.

Our developer dedicated 80 hours to detailed study and fine-tuning of analytics tools.
Now we see more than just clicks:
🔸Content engagement depth (page-to-page navigation).
🔸Drop-off points — the exact steps where users leave.
This data helps us form hypotheses for product improvement and reduce user churn.

❓ What do you rely on more when creating websites — data-driven metrics or a trained eye/intuition?

The project is a perfect example of how to effectively use a template to achieve a fast and high-quality result.

The employer purchased our popular Yoga template. He loved the design and functionality but wanted to make a few changes for his fitness club—specifically, to add several new pages. We performed a minor redesign.

Initially, the employer wanted to make the adjustments himself but soon returned to us with a semi-finished website that had stalled with another developer.

What We Did:

✅ Cleaned up the code left by the previous developer to ensure stable performance.
✅ Removed unnecessary modules for this project (e.g., trainer modals), keeping only the relevant functionality.
✅ Simplified and streamlined elements (like the articles page) for better user navigation.

The Result: The website was fully completed and launched in just 1-2 days! The employer was very satisfied, and we continue to collaborate with him.

This case perfectly illustrates when a template serves as an ideal foundation for a project.

👍 When a Template is a Great Solution:

1. For a Quick Launch: If the template’s functionality covers ~90% of your needs. Simply replace the content, and the site is ready.
2. With Customizations (like Spark Club): If you need to change up to 30% of the functionality. The key is to entrust the customizations to professionals.

🧑‍💻 When is it Better to Build a Site from Scratch?

If you require changes to more than 30% of the functionality—such as creating new logic, complex animations, or unique modules. In such cases, custom development from scratch is often cheaper and faster.

🚀 Over 3 years, we’ve built a collection of awesome templates—check them out on our website via the link in our profile. Our team can help you adapt any of them to your tasks quickly and without the headache.

💎 Solana Payouts — Landing Page for a Crypto Platform
The cornerstone was a dynamic, responsive interface: a “flashlight” cursor added depth, while numbers and graphs dove between layers, creating a compelling 2.5D illusion. Here, animation served not as decoration, but as a tool for engagement and explanation, generating ~2000 leads in the first month and earning a Site of the Day title.
🏆 CSSDA (Best UI/UX, Innovation), Awwwards HM, WD Awards

🔥 Torch — Website for a Forest Fire Detection Startup
3D formed the structural core of the interface. Interactive scenes captured user attention and demonstrated the product’s value. Engineering magic (Web Workers, OffscreenCanvas) made this heavy 3D experience run smoothly even on low-end devices. The site secured 30 pre-orders on its launch day
🏆 FWA Site of the Day and 11 other awards.

👥 inFaces — Internal Platform for inDrive Employees
We crafted a digital space where only the human voice matters. By removing job titles and highlighting personal stories, we strengthened the corporate culture. The minimalist interface became “invisible,” shifting the entire focus to the people.
🏆 CSSDA Site of the Day and Awwwards TH

🧵 Global Leathers — Website for a Premium Leather Manufacturer
The aesthetic is “quiet luxury.” Ample whitespace, a strict grid, and delicate animation created an atmosphere that speaks of quality louder than any words. A clear path to consultation and an educational component helped convert interest into concrete requests
🏆 FWA Site of the Day and 7 awards in UX/UI categories

🔒 Ockom — Website for a Cybersecurity Company
We employed 3D metaphors (bacteriophage, shield, chess) to visualize protection. These objects came to life on scroll, moving behind glass layers and driving a powerful visual narrative

👏Last month, we logged 1,900+ billable hours!

But for us, the real story isn’t just the number—it’s what’s behind it: our projects are getting more substantial, and the challenges more complex. This signals that our reputation as true experts is growing.

We’re focused on ensuring every project we deliver provides measurable business value for our employers.
That’s precisely why our target rate of €95+ per hour is absolutely within reach. After all, we’re not selling time; we’re selling results and impact.

📊 A Quick Look at the Data:

✅ Tech Support & Maintenance has grown to 550+ hours monthly.
✅ 55% of our orders came from returning employers. We’re thrilled by this level of trust—it’s the best review of our reputation we could ask for.
✅ Additional revenue from template sales this month reached €725.

✨ Project Highlights

🔸 Spark Club Website (Template-Based)
We integrated video testimonials, which will significantly boost user trust for this yoga service. It’s great to see our templates not only generating direct sales but also leading to additional custom work.

🔸 New Competition Project: Digital Handbook
We created a digital handbook for InDrive that helps newcomers feel like part of the team—not through dry policy documents, but through animation, illustration, and sound.

See how it turned out soon—stay tuned!

🔸 Gaming Service Redesign
We delivered a full website redesign for two key audiences: customers and future employees. After 12 user interviews, competitor analysis, and 52 hours of research, we developed a low-fidelity wireframe where every decision is backed by data. This approach guarantees effectiveness, not just a pretty picture.

🔸 Waste Recycling Startup
We used complex animation and visual metaphors to illustrate a high-tech recycling process that can’t be shown in a regular video. We transformed a complex description into a powerful tool for attracting investors and partners.

🎯This month clearly demonstrated that our work, grounded in data and deep expertise, delivers real business value for our employers.

❓How do you demonstrate to your employer that your hour is worth X?

09/10/2025

September was a record-breaking month for us in terms of total revenue! 👏

We’re seeing a growing number of employers coming to us with complex tasks. Currently, 35-40% of all our orders are for web service development. 🤗

On our rates: This year, we set a goal to reach $95/hour. We haven’t hit it yet, but we are steadily getting closer. This increase is a necessity for us, driven by market realities and our growing operational costs. Over three years, we’ve already grown from $35 /hour

🔸 CPT Project

We are completely overhauling a complex route planning service for Cyprus. For instance, currently, you can’t add a point directly from the map to a route—you have to manually search for its name. The new interface makes building routes simple and logical.

The design is currently under review with the employer.

🔸 New Standard for Handing Off Designs to Development

We’ve always taken pride in how well-organized our Figma workflow is. However, our recent project with the .agency showed a brilliant example of how it can be done even better—especially regarding documentation for developers.

Our processes are perfectly tuned for internal projects where designers and developers are one team. But for our growing number of «design-only» orders, this isn’t enough. We want to adopt their best practices to raise our own bar even higher.

🔸 Competition Project: Electric Roadsters
Progress: 90%

The main challenge was that we only had a few static mockups of the concept cars to bring the website to life. Our designer used AI to generate unique video content based on them. We had to overcome difficulties with detail distortion when upscaling the resolution, but the final result is a stylish and focused piece that we hope will be recognized in competitions.

📊 TEMPLATES

Over 3 years, our templates have brought in $23,000 with $36,000 in costs. We haven’t made «millions on templates» like in those success stories. This is likely due to the lack of a dedicated team and focused effort. This area is now in maintenance mode to recoup past investments.

❓Did you notice the market picking up in September? Have you been getting more orders?

How We Built a «Quiet Luxury» Website for a NYC Boutique Real Estate Agency 🏙️

✨Undivided – a boutique real estate agency in New York. We had the pleasure of working with this employer before.

The employer’s budget didn’t allow for a full-scale project, so we agreed on a contract to design 2 key pages.

🎯The Goal: To create a high-converting website in the «quiet luxury» style on the HubSpot CMS.

Our Core Idea: To craft a digital space that embodies «quiet luxury» – not loud, but impeccable in its details. The website needed to build trust with an affluent audience through clarity, calmness, and a focus on expertise, rather than aggressive sales tactics.

Before: The Problems
▪️ The website failed to convert social media traffic.
▪️ The visual design did not reflect the «premium real estate» positioning.
▪️ It lacked credibility and failed to gain the trust of affluent clients.

Our Solution:
✅ Implemented the «quiet luxury» strategy through generous whitespace, refined typography, and large, impactful visuals.
✅ Spotlighted the founder’s expertise – positioning his personality as the brand’s key asset.
✅ Mapped a user journey that specifically addresses the target audience’s fears about overpaying and making costly mistakes.

The Result: An elegant and functional sales tool that reflects the company’s positioning.

09/09/2025

Workload was on par with June, which is typical for the summer season. However, we saw a significant spike in new inquiries towards the end of the month.

🌌 Template Sales: Major growth! Revenue increased 3x, and the number of templates sold (approx. 10) doubled compared to July. We attribute this to the launch of our new «Regulink» template on the marketplace and a general increase in market demand.

✅ Completed Projects
· Undivided (a boutique real estate agency): Successfully delivered a design in the «quiet luxury» style. We covered this in last July’s recap.

· Vitable: A long-term employer returned to us for development after their rebranding. Previously, their target audience had rejected our complex 3D design approach. The current project implements the branding agency’s vision—featuring a clean, appropriate design without excessive animation or visual clutter. This website serves as a perfect example that sometimes simplicity works best.

· Spark-Klub: Successfully customized a Yoga template (purchased from us) to fit the employer’s needs. It’s great to see our templates not only generating direct sales but also leading to additional custom work.

📋New Deals: We have 3 projects in the contract signing phase, including a comprehensive collaboration with a branding agency. We’ll keep you posted.

📌 Strategy & Business Development

· Pet Projects: We’re greenlighting ideas from the team for small-scale products with short development cycles (1-2 months). The first such project is already underway—we’re testing this model’s effectiveness for sales.

· Upwork: After 2.5 months on the platform, we received 8 leads, but their quality and budget were disappointing. We’ve decided to change our outreach strategy on Upwork and are giving ourselves another month to test new approaches.

🎯 Award Project

Current award entry: electric roadsters inspired by classic cars. To bring the website to life, our designer used AI to generate video content based on the concept car mockups. The design is approved, and the project is now in the development phase.

What about you? Have you noticed the market picking up? Are you getting more orders?

05/08/2025

July was noticeably busier than June. Total hours: 3,985, including 1,600 project hours (1,215 for new projects, 388 for maintenance).

🚀 WE ONBOARDED 3 NEW PROJECTS

1. Cyprus Transport Company
Goal: Overhaul a complex legacy website (50+ pages) with UX-focused improvements.
Challenge: Chaotic structure, hidden features, duplicate pages.
Our Solution:
Deep UX audit + complete sitemap restructuring. We dedicated a record 100+ hours to research and created hi-fi prototype before design. Result: intuitive navigation and clear sections. This meticulous prep will accelerate both design and development.

2. NYC Luxury Real Estate Boutique
Goal: Design a conversion-focused HubSpot site with “quiet luxury” aesthetics.
Note: Limited employer budget → scoped to 2-page design (63 hours).
💪 Thrilled to see more employers seek out our premium design work! Our award-winning growth speaks for itself.
✅ Completed: Target audience research + curated design references.

3. Vitable (Website Rebrand)
A repeat employer — their return is a huge trust-builder for us!
Challenges:
Tight deadlines + third-party design integration (delays, imperfect mockups, post-dev design edits) + Webflow glitches.
Our Solution:
Round-the-clock workflow + streamlined processes: Assigned a dedicated lead for clear communication/task handoffs. Мonitored platform updates to prevent data loss.
Key Win: Employer consults us on design decisions despite their external contractor.

📈 GROWING RECOGNITION & TRUST IN CYPRUS
10 completed projects for Cypriot companies → word-of-mouth traction is live!

🧑‍💻 HIGHLIGHT: ONGOING PROJECTS
Proud of InFaces for 🏆 — 10 awards for part 1! Prepping part 2, part 3 contract signed.

🟰 KEY JULY TAKEAWAYS
1. Employers value premium design, complex analytics, and mature workflows.
2. Our structured processes (dedicated leads, sync-ups) ensure success under tight deadlines/external collaborations.
3. Repeat employers = ultimate validation of our work.
