For designers and studios

Your best clients remember two things – the work, and how it felt to work with you.

You get a dashboard that runs your projects. Your client gets a portal as considered as your work. Proposals, revision rounds, approvals and payments — one link, no client account needed.

Claim your spot See how it works

The gap between finishing great work and actually getting paid.
That bit. Let's talk about that.

  1. You agreed three revision rounds. They heard unlimited. Somewhere between round two and "just one tiny tweak" you stopped being a designer and became a people manager. Dotted tells them — not you.

  2. Feedback is coming. It'll arrive across three emails, a screenshot with arrows, a voice note you can't quite hear, and a Slack message at 11pm. "Pick the right font. No, not that one…"

  3. Round 1 is done. They love it, they want round 2 now. You don't want to kill the energy by talking about money — so you start round 2. Then round 3. Then you invoice for everything at once. Then you wait…

  4. They loved it. It closed beautifully. You never heard from them again — not because they didn't want more work done. Just because nobody reached back out. That client is still out there…

There's a better way

Most designers lose hours every week to client admin. Dotted gives most of that back.

The hidden cost

Three "small things"
is a free revision round.

"Can we just try the logo a bit bigger?"

"Actually — can we see it in navy?"

"Last one, I promise — can we go back to the first version?"

Three changes. One free round.

It's not about saying no. It's about not having to. Every round agreed upfront — so when the next small thing comes in, the system handles it. Not you. And if they want to keep going? They can buy another round, at your rate, through the portal.

One link. Everything they need. Everything you need.

Send it before you start. It handles the rest.

Sign on the dotted line

Your Dotted proposal lands on Monday.

They confirm by Tuesday. You start on Wednesday. Scope, revision rounds, milestone payments — agreed before anything begins. The deposit is tied to the proposal. They sign, they pay, you start. No more beginning work on a handshake.

Dotted all over the place

One place for everything.

Which means one less place to look. Uploads, feedback, revisions, payments — in one place, without you having to think about it. No more "where are the files?" No more "which version is this?" The client always knows. No more juggling five tools to manage one client.

Connect the dotsPro

That client you loved working with?

That client you loved working with? They probably have more work — they just haven't thought to reach out. Connect the Dots watches your wrapped projects and nudges them at the right moment, in your name. No awkward pitch. Just a well-timed dot on their radar. The loop begins again.

Less chase. More of the work you actually want to do.

Send one link. The rest takes care of itself.

  1.

    The proposal

    Send something that looks like your work deserves. Scope, revision rounds, milestone payments and a checkbox to confirm they're in. They agree, the deposit's paid, and you can actually get started.

    2 minutes to send

  2. The work

    They see the latest round and drop feedback directly on the design — no app, no account, just a link. No more mystery screenshots, no more decoding voice notes. Every round tracked, every version saved. The next round doesn't open until the previous milestone payment has cleared. No more working on trust and a handshake.

    Every round, every version

  3. The sign-off

    They approve, the payment clears, the next round opens. Everything's visible in the portal — but the working files are theirs only once final payment lands. They see the work. They don't own it until they've paid for it. Every approval timestamped — so when someone says "that's not what I asked for", you have the receipts.

    Money moves. Files unlock.

  4. After the work

    Their files are theirs permanently. No expired links, no "can you resend the finals." Everything they paid for, always accessible. And with Connect the Dots ✦ Pro — when the timing is right, Dotted tells you to reach back out.

    Their files. Always there.

This is what you see. This is why they'll love working with you.

Hey Sarah 👋

I hope you're well. It's been 8 weeks since we wrapped your Brand Refresh — I wanted to check in.

How is the new brand landing?

I'd love to hear how the new brand is being received. Your files are always accessible through your portal — no expired links, no hunting through old emails.

And if there's anything you'd like help with, I'd love to work together again.

Your client drops a dot on any part of the file and leaves their feedback. You address each one, then upload the next round.

The weight feels heavy for a florist

Could we try something lighter? Closer to the Aesop logotype — elegant, simple.

Nick replied

Totally — I'll try a hairline weight and condensed option for Round 2.

Every decision, every approval, every payment — one record that neither of you can argue with.

Most tools make you look like you're using software. Dotted makes you look like you run a studio.

01

Looks like yours

Your logo. Your name. Dotted powers it quietly in the background — your clients see your studio, not ours.

02

A link, not a login

They get one link. They click it, they're in. No account to create, no password to forget. Every notification brings them straight back to where they left off. That's why they actually use it.

First 100 designers.
Pricing locked forever.

This isn't a limited-time offer. It's a founding member price for the designers who get in early. After 100 spots, it's gone.

Most designers are already paying more than this — for tools that don't talk to each other.
