Keeping clients informed without endless meetings requires a project public view: a single link where they can check renders, approved products, order status, construction costs, and registered payments in real time.

What is a project public view in interior design?

A public view is a read-only portal that clients access via a secure, unique link (/view-project/[token]), without needing to create passwords or register on any platform.

Instead of sending dozens of emails with PDF budget versions or WhatsApp messages about whether the sofa has been ordered, the design studio centralizes the information. The client clicks their link and sees exactly what the studio has decided to share, always protecting internal costs and profit margins.

What information should the client portal include?

For a client to trust the process and reduce their doubts, the public view must answer their most frequent questions before they even ask them.

Renders and space design

Clients want to visualize their future home or commercial space. The public view allows organizing images and renders by room (living room, kitchen, master bedroom). By visually associating the space with the proposed products, the client better understands the design intent.

Product catalog and order status

Knowing what will be bought and when it will arrive is one of the biggest anxieties during a renovation. In the public view, the client can review:

The products selected for each space.
The final retail price (without seeing the studio's vendor cost).
The order status (pending, ordered, in transit, received, or installed).

Construction costs and transparent budgeting

A studio managing three simultaneous projects in the construction phase can face misunderstandings if the client isn't clear on the updated total cost. Unlike spreadsheets that mix numbers, the public view shows a clear financial summary:

Approved budget line items.
Additional costs or modifications during construction.
Automatic hiding of items the studio marks as "internal cost".

Payment tracking and billing

Payment tracking prevents friction. The client can consult a history of registered payments (fees, retainers, construction certificates) and quickly see what amount is covered and what is left to pay, without having to ask the studio for an accounting statement.

Why centralize project communication?

Adopting a public view transforms studio management:

Time savings: Eliminates the need to update and resend documents every time an order status changes.
Increased trust: Transparency in costs and payments reduces friction and follow-up calls.
Narrative control: The studio decides what information is visible and what is private, maintaining full control over the project's narrative.
