Brief forms
Clear starts.
Graphic designer client portals: briefs, proofs & approvals
Graphic designers: briefs, proofs and approvals in one place. No more 'final_final_v3'.
Briefs in emails, proofs as attachments and approvals lost. We build client portals for graphic designers.
Looking for a design client portal?
Design projects suffer from scattered feedback. We build portals for briefs, versioned proofs, comments and approvals.
Wollopit builds booking systems, client proofing, project portals and portfolio websites for graphic designers around how you actually create and deliver. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can spend more time on the work and less on the admin.

04Services
Everything under one roof
Software, websites and systems for graphic designers.
Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.
Custom software for graphic designers
Built around how your design studio actually runs: brief forms, versioned proofs and the admin in between, in one system you own.
Websites for graphic designers
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Design studio system upgrades
Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.
Apps and portals for graphic designers
Comments and approvals: customer and staff portals that work on any phone without an app store.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your design studio: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things graphic designers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can several stakeholders comment?
Yes. Multiple reviewers can comment with one approver.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your design studio. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can clients approve work online?
Yes. Clients can review drafts, leave comments, approve and pay in one place instead of a dozen emails.
Will our portfolio load fast?
Yes. We hand-build portfolio sites so big images and video load quickly on phones without losing quality.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most graphic designers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
