For designers
You design it.Your agent builds it.Clients pay you to look after it.
You decide how the site looks, and your agent builds what you designed. Volant is a desktop app that keeps track of the business side: the versions, the monthly care plan and the payments.
- Write your style notes once, use them on every site
- Show clients two versions and keep the one they pick
- A care plan that says what's included

What the care plan includes is written down.
Sound familiar?
The design is approved.The site still isn't live.
Clients pay for a website that works, and for someone to look after it. A finished design only gets you halfway.
Waiting on a developer
The design is done. Now you wait for a developer, or lose a weekend learning to put it online, while the client asks when it's ready.
Which one did they pick?
Three rounds of mockups, feedback spread across email and PDF comments, and the final choice made on a video call.
Just a quick change
Since launch, a small change request turns up most weeks. Nothing in writing says which ones the fee covered.
Care nobody pays for
The project fee came in once. You've been swapping their photos and fixing their hours for free ever since.
You're good at design. The admin around it is what makes a good designer look disorganised.

What your week looks likeonce the design is done.
Three moments from an ordinary week. Your agent builds, and the look and the decisions stay with you.
Presenting
Show the client two versions.Keep the one they choose.
Your agent builds the website from your design, and Volant saves every version, so you can put two side by side for the client. They pick one, you ask for changes on it, and you choose what goes live.
- Notes saved with each version
- Ask for changes on one version
- The client's choice written down

After launch
A client asks for a change.You can see if it's included.
Client messages from email, SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger and Discord arrive in one inbox, next to that client's care plan. When the framer asks for a new gallery page, you can see it isn't included before you reply.
- Messages sorted by client
- The care plan next to each request
- Your agent drafts the reply, you send it
Month end
Care counts as paidonce Stripe confirms it.
Volant only marks a payment as received when Stripe confirms it. Each month of care shows as paid or waiting, so you know which clients have paid for the work you're doing.
- Each month shows paid or waiting
- Every care plan next to its client
- You decide what to do when a payment is late

Questions
What designers ask first.
- Do I need my own AI agent?
- Yes. Volant works with the agent you already use, Claude Code, and doesn't come with one of its own. There's no extra program to install, and how you direct your agent is up to you.
- Can clients look at versions without me sending files?
- Yes. They see their work in a client portal with your branding.
- Who pays for the AI?
- You do. Your agent runs on your own AI account, so the AI company bills you directly for what it uses.
- What does it cost?
- The pricing page lists each plan and its price.
