Behind the Scenes with DesignFiles…
This is a Behind the Scenes follow up to last week’s “Cozy Breakfast Nook Design” post. I told you to look forward to a sneak peak into how my Project Dashboard works. Well here it is…
I use DesignFiles as my online platform to connect with my e-design clients. It’s a great program for collaborating with online clients no matter where they’re located. This is a wonderful tool for designers.
Take a look at all the info below that includes a blurb about the company, a brief video on how it all works, a list of great features, and some screenshots.
If you’re a fellow designer, take a look and see if DesignFiles is right for your business. If you’re a homeowner, take a look and see what it would be like to work on a project with me using all these handy features that DesignFiles has to offer as my Project Dashboard.
About DesignFiles . . .
“DesignFiles was built to provide interior designers with their own professional e-design platform branded to their business. Using DesignFiles interior designers can source products, create digital designs, invite their clients in to discuss the looks, send out branded presentations and tear sheets and manage all of their client projects in one easy to use platform.
“With e-design quickly becoming a popular option in the industry it is more important than ever that designers have the tools they need to tap into this lucrative online market. While crowd sourced e-design sites can be helpful to connect designers with potential clients, the downside is that designers are often bound to the rates and project terms set by these sites.
“With DesignFiles interior designers can have their own e-design platform up and running in minutes and ready to accept clients. Designers set their own rates and project terms and keep 100% of their earnings. DesignFiles does not take a cut from the designer.
“We’re in the business of helping interior designers grow their business, so it‘s fair to say we have a lot riding on our member’s success.”
