DESIGN TOOLS TO IMPROVE CLIENT EXPERIENCE
Nettl studios create beautiful things and work with client files on a daily basis. It’s probably what you do too. Print jobs, sign projects. Design for fabric and for websites. The Nettl system automates touch points and reduces steps. So your clients get an improved integrated experience and your designers spend more time on billable creative work and less time on admin.

YOUR DESIGN TOOLKIT
The Nettl System is used by thousands of designers across the globe. We’ve used their know-how and feedback to build a toolkit that saves time in every interaction. And at the same time, seamlessly linking through to the client, improving their experience.
Smart online proofing
Checking finished printing for spelling errors is no fun. Best to ask clients to approve a proof before print. We all know this. BulletProof lets you send a secure online proof. Just a link, with no password, and no files attached.
Stock photos
Search a library of 100 million stock photos, illustrations and vectors to use in your design work. You can even give clients access to allow them to choose and add to a lightbox – helping to speed up the brief process.
Fix files on the fly
Some clients like to send their own print-ready files. And when we say print-ready, of course we mean what-a-pile-of-steaming-filth-ready. We’ve seamlessly integrated Enfocus Switch and Callas pdfToolbox. Making checking client files really easy.
Build online editable templates
Simply create an InDesign file. No plug-ins are needed. Just name layers, swatches and paragraph styles our special, secret way. Upload the InDesign file and watch it build a template automatically for your clients to edit and order online.
SMART ONLINE PROOFING
Best to ask clients to approve a proof before print. We all know this. But emailing pdfs to clients? Not the best experience for the client.
That’s why Nettl studios use BulletProof. Send an online proof. Just a link. No files attached. Clients don’t even need to remember a password – a clever token securely signs them in.
