Hey everyone,

I’m a small in home screen printer getting more serious about streamlining my workflow and could use some input from others who’ve been down this road.

I originally started printing for my jiu-jitsu gym and a few other gyms locally. Over time, word spread through friends and I’ve picked up work from different non jiu jitsu companies as well. Lately, I’ve noticed I’m spending a lot of time going back and forth with customers just to get projects dialed in—things that I feel could be handled more efficiently with a solid website.

I’ve owned my domain for a couple years but haven’t built anything out yet (everything’s been run through Instagram up to this point). My goal now is to create a website where customers can:

Upload their artwork

Fill out a project request form

Get a mockup and quote with minimal back-and-forth

I’m also planning to include a FAQ section to answer common questions upfront. For example, I think it would be helpful to explain the differences between DTF and screen printing, including when to use each and the pros/cons.

For those of you with experience—what else should I include on my site to cut down on time spent messaging back and forth with potential customers?

Anything that’s helped you improve efficiency, set expectations, or filter serious inquiries would be huge.

Appreciate any advice you’re willing to share.
