If you’ve ever found yourself knee-deep in email chains trying to track down the “final_final_FINAL_v7.pdf”, we feel your pain. One of the simplest but most impactful changes we’ve made at TGDH is using an online proofing tool. It’s made our design process smoother, quicker, and (most importantly) less stressful for our clients. 

So, if you’re working with a design agency (or thinking about it), here’s why you should be working with one that uses an online proofing tool, like us.

No more scrolling through emails or digging through Teams messages to find that one bit of feedback you sent at 9pm on a Tuesday. Online proofing keeps all your comments, edits, and thoughts in one tidy place, right there on the artwork. You can circle an area of design, highlight text and leave your feedback, and everyone sees it in real-time. Clear, simple, efficient.

2. Faster turnarounds

With everything in one place, we can pick up your feedback quicker, action it faster, and move your project along without unnecessary delays. It cuts out the confusion, saves the back-and-forth, and helps us hit your deadlines with ease.

3. No more version confusion

You always know you’re looking at the latest version. The online proofing tool tracks every round of amends, so you can see exactly what’s changed (and what hasn’t). Plus, with our online proofing tool you can look back at old versions and compare them all in one place, no need to go digging through old email attachments or shared folders. Everything’s there when you need it.

4. Easy sign-off

Once you’re happy, you can approve your design with a simple click. No need to draft a formal approval email or schedule another meeting. If there are still changes and you’re happy after they’ve been made, you can hit ‘approve with changes’. That way, we can get your design prepped and ready keeping things moving quickly and hassle-free. 

Note: Approve with changes is best used when it’s small text amendments and not large-scale amendments.

5. A smoother working relationship

Multiple people need to review or approve a design? No problem. Online proofing makes it easy for teams to leave feedback in one place, see each other’s comments, and avoid crossed wires. It cuts down on conflicting amends and makes sign-off quicker and clearer, whether it’s just you or a whole team involved.   

Working with us? You’ll see it in action

Every client we work with gets access to our proofing system, whether it’s a quick-turnaround social campaign or a full brochure. It helps keep the whole process easy and transparent, so you can spend less time chasing files and more time making sure your project looks exactly how you want it.
