Keep internal work internal
Assignments, notes, subtasks, blockers, and team workflow stay on the internal side instead of becoming client noise.
For small web, design, and creative agencies
Run the real work internally. Show clients only what they need.
Stop rebuilding project status from chat, email and half-updated boards. Strikd keeps client delivery in a focused Kanban workflow and lets teams share a simpler view of selected deliverables without exposing the internal operating board.
Start with one real client project and test the workflow before moving everything.
One project. Two levels of visibility.
Your team needs the working detail. Your client needs confidence, progress, deadlines, and a clear signal when you need their approval or input.
Choose client-facing deliverables
Owners and editors decide which deliverables appear in the client view and can add a short client-facing summary when the internal title needs context.
Signal when input is needed
Mark shared deliverables when client approval or input is required. The client view shows that signal; the decision itself stays in your existing approval channel.
A client view built for the status question.
Clients see the useful layer: shared deliverables, overall progress, simple status, relevant due dates, and approval requests. They do not get the full internal task stream.
- Shared deliverables only
- Not started, In progress, and Complete status
- Overall shared-deliverable progress
- Relevant due dates
- Approval or input required
- Optional client-facing summaries
The one-client proof test
A new project-management tool is only better if it removes work. Try Strikd beside your current system with one real active client project before you consider migrating.
Put real work on one board
Include the current owner, due dates and at least one genuine handoff or blocked item. Note how long setup takes and who needs help to use it.
Find what needs attention
Check blocked, overdue and due-soon work without reconstructing status from other conversations. If the board does not reflect reality, record why.
Show one client the right amount
Select client-visible deliverables and let the client check simple progress and whether input is needed, while private team work stays private.
Measure the actual change
Compare status questions, duplicate updates, board-maintenance time and confusion over ownership with the workflow you already had. Continue only if Strikd makes that work easier.
Important product boundary: Strikd currently flags when client approval or input is required in the client status view; clients cannot submit an approval decision or upload a file directly in that view. Keep your established approval channel until your workflow has been tested.
Not ready to try another tool yet? Use the cross-project visibility test or the free Board Adoption Diagnostic to identify the problem first.
Still lightweight for the team doing the work.
Focused Kanban
Keep client execution visible with ownership, due dates, handoffs, and a board the team can actually keep current.
Recurring work
Routine client deliverables can recur on daily, weekly, or monthly schedules instead of being rebuilt by hand.
Cross-project attention
Use workload and attention visibility to find blocked, overdue, and due-soon work across active client projects.
Test it with one active client.
Run the work in Strikd, expose only the deliverables that matter to the client, and see whether status chasing and duplicate update work go down.
Small agency FAQ
Does the client see our internal tasks?
No. The client-facing status view returns only deliverables the team explicitly marks client-visible. Internal tasks, assignments, notes, subtasks, blockers, and team workflow remain private.
What can a client see?
Shared deliverables, their simple status, overall progress, relevant due dates, client-facing summaries, and whether approval or input is required. The client view does not yet accept approval decisions or file uploads.
Do we have to migrate everything?
No. Start with one current project and prove the workflow with your team and one client first.
Is there a trial?
Yes. Paid plans include a 14-day trial before the first subscription charge.
