Drate Design · done for you
Your Drate, designed and built for you by a team in your pocket.
Choose a design you like and get matched with a designer and an implementation manager who knows Drate inside out. Then talk to them, as much as you like, while they build it: your website, your app, your move from wherever you are now. It goes live when you say so.
Step 01
Choose a design you like.
Every one of these is a real Drate site. Pick the one closest to what you have in mind and your designer starts there, then makes it yours. Nothing you like here? Say so in your brief and they start from a blank page.
Pick one to start your brief from it, or start with none.
Start your briefStep 02
Get matched with your team.
Your brief says what you make, what you need taken care of and when. A person at Drate reads it and matches you with the designer who fits, or you choose one yourself, and an implementation manager joins them. Two people who know your project by name, with the rest of Drate behind them.
Your designer
Makes it look like you.
Takes the design you chose and your brief, and turns them into pages that could only be yours, on a computer and on a phone.
Your implementation manager
Makes it work, and keeps it moving.
Knows Drate inside out. Sets up your memberships, shop and domain, runs your move from wherever you are now, and makes sure nothing is waiting on you without you knowing.
And Drate behind them
The people who make Drate, a message away.
When your site needs something nobody has asked for before, your team takes it straight to the people who can build it.
Step 03
Talk to them.
We like talking to the people we build for. The chat in the corner of your dashboard is the line to your whole team: send pictures, point at part of a page and say what to change, ask anything, and watch your site come together in your own editor. You choose how often you hear from us, at every step, at the big moments, or when it's ready. Nothing goes live until you've looked it over.
- Here's my brief. I like the Music design, but warmer, and I'm bringing 400 patrons with me.
Your designerGot it. I've started your home page with the new record up top, in warmer colours.
Your implementation managerAnd I've set up your tiers to match Patreon's. Your 400 patrons come over this week, and nobody has to subscribe twice.
Home page, first look
- Love it. Can the tiers sit higher up?
Your designerDone. Have a look, and say the word when you want it live.
A whole team, for everything your Drate needs.
Not a designer who hands you a mock-up and wishes you luck. Your team builds it on your site, sets up what it sells, brings over what you have, and keeps looking after it.
Your website
Every page designed and built in Drate's editor, on a computer and on a phone.
Your app
Your members' iOS and Android app, laid out to match the site.
Your move
From Patreon, Shopify, Fourthwall or wherever you are now, with your patrons and products.
Memberships
Tiers, prices, free trials and what each one opens, set up and tested.
Your shop
Products, options, stock and shipping, ready to sell.
Your content
Posts, videos and collections brought over and put in order.
Your domain
Your own address connected, with search and sharing set up.
The running of it
Changes after launch go to the same people, in the same chat.

Before you start.
Who does the work?
Two people at Drate: a designer, matched by what you make and what you need, and an implementation manager who sets everything up. You know their names, and you talk to them directly from your dashboard.
What does an implementation manager do?
Everything that isn't the look. They know Drate inside out, so they set up your memberships, shop and domain, bring over your members, products and posts, test it all, and keep the work moving so you never have to chase it.
How much will I hear from you?
As much as you'd like. Your brief asks whether to check with you at every step, show you at the big moments, or show you when it's ready, and the chat is open the whole way through, and after launch.
Do I need a site already?
No. Start a brief with nothing and your team starts the site. If you've already begun one on Drate, name it in your brief and they pick it up from there.
What does the price cover?
The design and the build of your Drate, your move from wherever you are now, and the launch. Your Drate plan, and what Stripe charges on the payments you take, are separate.
I'm on Patreon, Shopify or Fourthwall. Can you move me?
Yes. Say where you are in your brief. Drate brings over a Patreon's patrons and posts and a shop's products, and your implementation manager runs the move for you.
Can I change things myself afterwards?
Everything. What they build is an ordinary Drate site, and every part of it opens in the same editor you'd use yourself.
