009: Fitness Mondays, Efficient Agency Workflows, and the Importance of a Solid Onboarding

In this episode of the Snapmarket podcast, hosts Brandon Giella and Parker Smith discuss their philosophy of the "shitty first draft," designing websites for clients, maintaining physical health while leading a startup, and iterative processes in their startup lifestyle.  Key Takeaways: * The hosts believe in getting a preliminary version or a "shitty first draft" of their work out to clients as it's often easier to critique and refine rather than trying to generate something from scratch.  * They put a high importance on physical health and incorporating it into their work-life balance, viewing it as an essential part of leading successful startups.  * They have a client-friendly iterative process for website design which allows their clients a faster and more efficient work process.  * They also discuss the potential and necessity for adjusting the level of polish on their initial draft work when dealing with agencies as intermediaries for their clients. * The hosts emphasis on the value of having solid brand guidelines before starting a project to streamline the work process.  * They discuss the importance of having a robust onboarding process for new clients, ensuring they have all the necessary information before starting a project. * They are considering implementing a more formal design review process to better align with previous work and meet the standards of larger companies or their agency clients.
