What is this "Customized version" of the template?

I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" solutions. Any business may have different requirements, different approaches.

If the Employee Schedule is generally what you need, but you have some specific requirements to make it useful for your business, you should choose the Customized version of the template.

For the customization, you will give me the details of your business, how your process looks like currently and what you want to achieve and optimize. I will suggest and implement improvements to this template and potential integrations or other solutions that may be useful for your case. I will also suggest and implement other solutions that may be useful for your case.

Some examples of the customized employee schedule

1) The client required a method to track recurring availability.

Custom implementation of weekly Shift schedule

The solution allows him to select if an event is recurring or one-time, on which day the employee is available and for how long.

2) The client needed a different approach to tracking the number of events and duration in a specific month.

Custom implementation of the employee schedule template

There's a summary view in the solution to catch any issues right away.

3) The client was looking for a way to track contractors and costs related to property management and repairs.

4) The customer wanted to use the template as a "work time clock" or "punch clock"

Tally forms were integrated into the template. Employees only selected the time of start and time of end of their shifts.

5) The client requires a "punch clock" staff rota template within Notion.

This solution was made using Database buttons which set start and end times when the user clicks on them.

These are only a couple of examples of how the template can be customized.

Is the customized version right for me?

If you have a use case that can't be covered by the default template (typical examples are different time spans, different way of using the timetable, different way of calculating the durations, automatic cost calculation, ...) you could use a customization.

FAQ

So how does his work actually?

1. You pick the perfect tier for your case
2. I send you a link to schedule a discovery call
3. If we're a good fit, I start working on your task; if not, you get a refund (full refund - potential costs).

If you are unsure, you could contact me before paying for the tier. Send me an email to denis+notion@avgustin.si.

How do I decide which tier is the right for me?

If you are unsure, contact me. Generally speaking if you are a sole proprietor, freelancer or a small business owner, the Basic tier is probably enough for you. If you want to build custom applications and use Notion as a database, or CMS, or any other non-typical implementation go for Pro tier.

There are free and cheap templates available, why is this service so expensive compared to the templates?

A template can be generic and used for many different cases. It can be resold to hundreds of customers without many changes. A personalized consulting focuses on your business and your use cases.

If you choose to build a completely custom template, I will listen to your requirements, understand your business needs and help you choose the best solutions to make sure you benefit from it.

Typical Notion consulting hour rates can range between $50 and $200. A custom template can cost between $100 and $1000 or even more, based on complexity.

I don't think I need a full month of guidance, can I get only half?

No. Template creation and customization process takes multiple iterations and communication over several weeks. 1:1 sessions need time for preparation and execution and we need to find the time that suits both of us. 1 month is the smallest unit of time we can afford.

What if I need a basic template but integrated with some external tools?

It depends. Let's say you need a simple Tally form to Notion integration - this can be covered with Basic Tier. But if you need a Tally form which takes several fields, transforms the data, creates multiple Notion entries, ... then this is not a simple template anymore, is it?

Can I still take the Basic tier and ask for services from Standard and Pro?

Of course. You will be charged for the extra services you use, per hour or per project - we will define the rate before I start working on it. Contact me and we'll find a solution.

Each tier has a) or b) options, can I get a mix of both consulting and custom templates?

Yes it is possible. For example if you need just an hour of coaching to get to know Notion more, you can spend the rest to build a custom template.

What If my template takes more than a month to complete?

You will get a time budget for each month. If I will know immediately that it can not be done in that time, I will let you know before I start it (when we discuss your wishes). Then you decide what to do.

What about a refund policy?

Refunds are possible only before the work has started. Personalized guidance or custom Notion templates are "goods made to order or clearly personalized" and "online digital content, which can not be returned once you download it" and as such they are an exception to refunds. But don't worry, before I start we will need to discuss your wishes and if your selected service is not a good fit, you will be fully refunded.

All things considered, your offer is quite cheap. Where's the catch?

You're right. The offer is quite cheap.

I have a limited number of slots and limited time per slot available.

You will get my undivided attention but not unlimited.

What if I'm in a hurry and need your service ASAP?

Contact me denis+notion@avgustin.si and we'll discuss options. Urgent projects will cost more.
