Let’s be honest...
You didn’t become a designer to chase contracts, send scattered emails, or wonder if your new client knows what’s next. You became a designer to design.
But if your onboarding process feels clunky, confusing, or completely manual... it’s time to upgrade.
Say hello to your done-for-you onboarding system.
Introducing the Client Onboarding System-in-a-Box — a streamlined, semi-automated onboarding process designed specifically for interior designers. Whether you’re managing one project or ten, this system will help you onboard like a pro (without ever opening a blank Google Doc again).

-6 Pre-Written Email Templates
From first inquiry to kickoff call, wow your clients with clear, polished messaging from day one.
-Editable Inquiry Form + Design Questionnaire
Ask the right questions up front so you can hit the ground running.
-Canva Welcome Packet Template
A beautifully branded PDF you can personalize with your colors, services, and process.

PERFECT FOR YOU IF....
-
You want to elevate your client experience but don’t know where to start
-
You’ve been copying and pasting the same emails over and over
-
You’re juggling multiple clients and want a repeatable system that runs smoothly
-
You use (or want to use) tools like Dubsado, Google Drive, ClickUp, and Canva
-
You want everything ready-to-use, but still flexible to make it your own
DON'T USE DUBSADO? NO PROBLEM.


This system was built to be flexible — so whether you’re using Dubsado, HoneyBook, another CRM, or nothing at all, it will still streamline your onboarding process.
Here’s how it works without Dubsado:
-
Use the email templates inside Gmail, Outlook, or wherever you send client comms — no automation required.
-
Share the inquiry form and questionnaire via Google Forms, Typeform, or directly in your welcome email.
-
Personalize the Welcome Packet in Canva, export it as a PDF, and attach it manually to your welcome email.
-
Organize client projects with the included folder structure in Google Drive or Dropbox.
-
Track your onboarding steps using the optional ClickUp task list or even a printable checklist.
USE IT YOUR WAY
Whether you’re all-in on Dubsado or prefer to keep it simple, this system works seamlessly either way.
