Custom Formatting Support

Get a Microsoft expert (me!) to create the perfect templates for your business,
so you can simply get on with what you do best!

Are you the 'Jane of all trades' for your business?

You're a professional. And you know what you are doing - you need to, in order for your business to keep going!

Up until now, you have taught yourself enough to make documents and spreadsheets that work...but they are definitely still missing that something that makes them feel right.

But between juggling all the balls in your business - your actual zone of genius, the endless admin, marketing, a bit of accounts, maybe some HR to start outsourcing, and everything else that comes up - and all that stuff that you manage after you switch the computer off at the end of the day (anyone else find their life admin never ending too?), there just aren't enough hours in the day to spend on it, so it's just got to do, right?

But it's still something that's niggling at the back of your brain - am I right?

That's because you know that if it was set up properly, and represented you and your business better, it would definitely make a difference in your business!

But just thinking about it is exhausting - let alone finding the time to actually deal with it!

 

Make it easy for yourself with a fully formatted, on-brand set of custom document templates, that you can simply open and use!

Marianne is an expert at creating practical documents, spreadsheets and presentations that will look and sound like you, and your business!

How does it work?

Thrive's custom formatting is the way to create a bespoke document, spreadsheet or presentation that fits you, and how you do business!

Your formatting project is treated as a fixed fee service, so there's no additional costs or hidden extras!

Every custom formatting service includes:

Revisions

Provision of a first draft, followed by up to 2 revisions, based on your edits, to ensure you have a finished product you love

Branding & Layout

Use of your branding (colours, logo and fonts) in both the layout and the document headings to create something that is truly your own

Content

Final content provided as a template (for documents and spreadsheets), and a working 'master' document, so you can adapt it as you need

Video Tutorial

Get unlimited access to a personalised walkthrough video tutorial of your documents, so you know exactly how to work with them
