Why we built equest
Why we built equest
Last year, I was juggling three client projects at once. Nothing unusual — except I was spending more time chasing down information than actually doing the work I was hired for.
One client had their brand guidelines buried in a Google Drive folder I couldn’t access. Another kept sending me login credentials through iMessage, WhatsApp, and email — never the same channel twice. The third couldn’t remember which version of their logo was the “final” one.
Sound familiar?
The email thread from hell
Here’s what my inbox looked like:
- “Re: Re: Re: Re: Quick question about the project” (14 messages deep)
- “Fwd: Fwd: Here are the files you asked for” (wrong files)
- “Can you resend that form? I lost the link”
I tried everything. Google Forms felt too impersonal for professional work. Notion was overkill for simple intake. Typeform looked nice but couldn’t handle the back-and-forth review process I needed.
So I built equest.
What makes it different
The core idea is simple: one place where you and your client can go back and forth until everything is right.
You create a questionnaire. They fill it out. You review their answers and can request changes on specific items — not the whole thing. They fix what needs fixing. You approve what’s good. Repeat until done.
No more “please see my comments in the attached PDF.”
Still figuring things out
We’re early. There’s a lot we’re still building and plenty of rough edges. But if you’re tired of the intake chaos, give it a shot. It’s free to try, and we’d genuinely love your feedback on what’s working and what isn’t.
