Structure & reliability
Clear processes, firm deadlines, traceable workflows – you don't have to chase me to keep your project moving.
About me – Jana Schmidt, Freelancer for Web Design & Podcast Management
15 years of experience in project management, purchasing & sales – now freelancing in web design and podcast management after targeted further training.
Hello, I'm Jana – Freelancer for Web Design and Podcast Management
As a freelancer for web design and podcast management, I primarily support solo entrepreneurs, coaches, trainers, podcasters and small businesses who want to publish their content professionally – without having to fight with technology, site maintenance or episode uploads in the evenings or on weekends.
What sets me apart: I don't work by the book. Thanks to my years of experience across different fields and close collaboration with external service providers, I know how frustrating it is when no one thinks ahead or considers how small changes affect the overall project. I bring that perspective to every podcast project and every web design build I work on.
How did I get into web design and podcast management?
Before becoming self-employed, I ran international projects for more than ten years – including purchasing and sales for TV shopping clients like QVC UK and QVC France, with daily coordination across Europe. What stuck: clean processes, reliable coordination, an eye for the bigger picture.
My path into web design and podcast management was paved by my own project Fielou – a private audio service where I did hands-on podcast production for a year and a half: audio editing, uploads, managing several channels. In February 2026 I completed further training in web development, online marketing and content creation with AI — exactly the areas that come together today when you want to be found online. So every project combines both: the technical craft and an eye for how content performs and gets found.
What you can expect from me – and what sets me apart from agencies
Experience that thinks ahead
15 years of project work mean: I think like a business owner, not just a designer.
Eye for detail
Your site goes live error-free, your podcast sounds clean – you don't have to double-check it yourself.
Transparency
You know upfront what's coming, when, and what it costs. No surprises on the invoice.
Flexibility & adaptability
Short-notice change or a new episode? I respond quickly and reliably.
One point of contact
You talk to me directly, from the first conversation to handover. No rotating contacts, no call center.
A few things you should know about me
- Relaxation with side effects: Building Lego and doing puzzles are part of my evening wind-down – much to my daughter's dismay when I suddenly need to "borrow" a piece.
- Leftover cuisine deluxe: Pasta boils over almost every time at my place, and eggs are either too soft or too hard. But fridge leftovers turn into something surprisingly good.
- Sport, a bit different: Workouts sometimes happen between the dishwasher and the clothesline.
- Nickname "Eagle Eye": Spelling, layout, broken links - I spot it instantly. Perfect for clean websites and podcast show notes.
Who I'm the right fit for
I work best with people who know what they want – or at least know what they no longer want to do themselves. You run a business or a practice and finally want to be found online without dealing with the technical side? You're building a brand as a coach or solo entrepreneur and want to become visible with a website and a podcast? Both are a good fit. What you get is a reliable partner who works in a structured way, thinks ahead and doesn't escalate every little thing. Let's use the intro call to find out if it's a good match.
One thing matters to me here: reliability runs both ways. You can count on firm commitments and met deadlines – and it works best when feedback and material come back promptly too. That keeps your project moving, instead of stalling between open questions.
Frequently asked questions
Why did I specialize in podcast management and web design?
The starting point was my own project Fielou — a private audio service where I learned podcast production hands-on. That made it clear how much goes into it. Web design followed as a logical addition: if you want to be heard, you also need to be found.
How do I work with my clients?
I rely on transparent communication, clear workflows and short decision paths. Whether long-term support or project-based work – every client gets individually tailored services. More on this on the services page.
Why do I work differently from many other service providers?
I know the frustration when projects start with service providers and extra costs appear bit by bit. That's why I communicate clearly from the start what's included in the price — no hidden items, no surprises. That creates real planning security.
