It can be a great foundation that you can tweak to meet your client’s needs. Work together to make it their own.
There are other chances to collaborate as well. With remote work still being the norm at quite a few organizations, a lot of users have found great opportunities to set up remote sessions where they could share the KITS Collaborator Windows version and collaborate with clients in live sessions.
4 – Create Examples for Clients
If you’re working with a new client who may be a little unfamiliar with a tool like KITS, it would be beneficial to have some examples of layouts and designs that you’ve already created to show them so they can see what kind of preview they are going to get. These could be examples from past clients who are okay with you sharing designs, or they could be ones you’ve specifically created as examples. As we mentioned earlier, these could be examples you can create as a form of practice.
Our users have told us that this can help satisfy a client’s curiosity about how KITS is helping you design their layout and even get them excited to see their product.
