Just as we know no design project is the same, we also know that no design firm operates the same way. This is why Studio Designer offers extensive customization options to manage your projects, handle your financials, and interact with your clients your way.
We are excited to offer you an additional option for sharing proposals and invoices with your clients: Interactive Documents. Now you have three different options for sharing proposals and invoices with clients: Interactive Documents, Client Portal, and PDFs.
How Do I Decide Which Option is Right for Our Firm?
> If you want to offer your clients the ability to…
- View and act on proposals and invoices without a login
- View and act on only one proposal or invoice at a time
- Make approvals on proposal or invoices through emailed links
- Enter payment information for each transaction
…then Interactive Documents may be right for you!
> If you want to offer your clients the ability to…
- Securely log in to view and act on current and past projects
- Make approvals on individual items within a project
- Save payment information and so you can apply it to current and future projects
..then Client Portal may be right for you! *This is the recommended option.
> If you want to offer your clients the ability to…
- Access read-only proposals and invoices
- View only one proposal or invoice at a time
- Send payments offline
…then PDFs may be right for you!
