Softwares and Apps

At Freedom Creative Studio, making things easier for you to take decisions and quicker for you to be productive is our priority. We want to involve you from start to finish in the behind-the-scenes as well as all our processes from invoicing to how we manage our time to see your project to a satisfactory completion. In order for things to stay clean and professional, we use an array of online tools that allow us to fully focus on your project while your admin part is being handled in the background.

Some of them are:

Bonsai for all of our invoicing, quotes and as an online payment tracking/gateway/platform.

ClickUp for a detailed schedule of your projects life’s span from start to finish, which you can follow for free.

Whatsapp being our go-to communication platform when it comes to keeping in touch with you for quick exchanges.

Slack which is optional if you wanted a more secure and instant way of reaching out rather than WhatsApp.

Around and Google Meet involving video calling, screen-sharing amongst other top-notch options, enabling face-to-face interactions.

All programs are available for download and have phone applications, should you be interested in them as well, but we do not expect you to swap applications if you already use any or purchase offered premium options by the mentioned programs.

Banking Systems &
Payment Gateways

Provided that we try our best to stick to FCS’ paper-free vow, we use 2 online banking systems and one payment gateway that are listed below. They provide their own exchange rates as well as other services, which have proven to be very reliable over the years on top of their trustworthy review count and recommendation from existing customers.

Our 2 banking systems include: WISEPayPal

Our payment gateway includes: Stripe

You can find all of our banking details and info via our billing info page or at the bottom of each of our invoices, where we charge you in your country’s currency or whichever you prefer to trade in.

Please, note that our invoices exclude any banking or exchange rate charges and that they should be taken care by you, the client, if and when applicable.

Eco-Sustainability

As previously mentioned, small actions contribute to the bigger picture when it comes to saving our planet. Which is why at FCS, we make try our best to stick to our paper-free lifestyle as much as we can and, therefore, get our clients on board too.

All your files will be sent to you via mail or uploaded to our servers, where you will be able to download them from a link which will be automatically unlocked on our Bonsai platform right after the final invoice has been paid and processed.

Should you want a hard copy of all your files, folio, presentation or a USB stick containing your project, an incurred cost will be applied including any paper, envelopes, material or postage charges involved.

Donations

Compassion and kindness being a default to our brand, FCS is very much involved in humanitarian movements and actions, sometimes even sponsoring them.

Therefore, in order to help others who are less fortunate, we usually display a link which will redirect you to the verified organization we have chosen to feature on our website.

As much as we make sure that any donation links are legitimate, all proceeds should be made directly to the organization, meaning that FCS does not take responsibility should any issues arise.

GDPR Rights

Your privacy is critically important to us. Going forward, we aim to support the GDPR standard.
