For creative studios

Less admin between the brief and the final file.

Design, branding, video and photography studios use SparkDesk to send proposals, take deposits on invoice, run projects on boards and collect client sign-off in a portal that looks like your studio.

What gets fixed

Starting work before the deposit is in
Split an accepted quote into a deposit, progress and final invoice so the deposit invoice goes out the moment the client says yes.
Feedback scattered across email threads
Clients review documents and approve requests in the portal, and everything they send lands on their record.
Every project set up from scratch
Project and task templates hold your standard phases, from discovery to delivery, so a new job is ready in minutes.
Contracts that live in a downloads folder
Contracts are built from templates, versioned, and signed with built-in e-signature that produces an audit certificate.

How a job runs in SparkDesk

  1. 01 / Win

    Capture enquiries with a form on your site that creates a lead, then send a quote with your packages from the products catalog.

  2. 02 / Sign

    Send the contract for e-signature. Signers get a link, and the signed copy and audit certificate are stored on the record.

  3. 03 / Deliver

    Run the work on a board, share docs for review, and keep revisions and time against the project budget.

  4. 04 / Bill

    Send the deposit, progress and final invoices from the quote, with reminders before and after the due date.

For creative studios: questions

Something else? Ask us.

  • Can clients pay the deposit online?

    Not inside SparkDesk today. Invoices go out as email and PDF with your payment instructions, and you record the payment against the invoice when it arrives.

  • Can the portal and documents carry our branding?

    Yes. Paid plans remove SparkDesk branding from quotes, invoices and credit notes, and you can set your own branding for documents and contracts.

  • Does SparkDesk handle booking calls?

    No. There are no booking links or calendar sync today, so keep your existing scheduling tool and send enquiries into SparkDesk with a form.

Also see SparkDesk for agencies, consultancies and event planners.
