Client approvals for interior design projects

Give clients one clear approval portal for moodboards, floor plans, 3D renders, product selections, finishes, and proposals — with a decision record for every choice.

The approval chaos this replaces

Interior design projects run for months and involve dozens of client decisions. Approvals for finishes, furniture, layouts, lighting, and supplier quotes often arrive as forwarded photos, WhatsApp messages, email replies, and shared drive links. When something is ordered, changed, or questioned later, it can be hard to prove which version or option the client approved.

How NudgePort helps

NudgePort turns each design decision into an approval item with its own status, version history, and approval record. Clients open a protected portal, verify their email with a one-time code, and approve or request changes per item.

Your original files stay in Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Canva, Figma, or your existing tools. NudgePort keeps the approval history.

Frequently asked questions

Can I collect approvals on floor plans and 3D renders?

Yes. Add any PDF, image, 3D render, walkthrough, or presentation link as an approval item from Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Canva, Figma, or your visualization tool.

Can I share product selections and supplier quotes?

Yes. Add product links, supplier quotes, finish selections, and alternative options as separate approval items so clients can approve each decision clearly.

Do clients need a special app or account?

No. Clients open the protected portal link in their browser, verify their email with a one-time code, and can approve or request changes without creating a NudgePort account.

Does NudgePort store my design files?

No. NudgePort does not upload or store your original files. Your files stay in the tools you already use. NudgePort stores the approval record, comments, statuses, and version history.

Can I export the approval history?

Yes. Paid plans include approval exports so you can keep a clear record of what was approved, when, and by whom.
