Manage art commissions in one place, build your business to last
A cross-platform commission workspace — quote sheet, requests, boards, queue, portfolio, running as one chain. Keep every project moving, and build a brand of your own.
No card required — subscriptions aren't open yet.
Convert every enquiry into a client
One workflow, six linked stages — every visitor you already have gets carried through to a booking, and every piece you deliver sends them back for the next one.
- 1Quote
A quote sheet clients say yes to faster
Nine sections, three layouts, and one link a client can send their request straight from.
Instead of a Canva image you re-export every time you change a price
- 2Request
Not a single enquiry gets lost
Clients request straight from that sheet, and it arrives in your inbox as a real entry.
Instead of a Google Form you retype into a board by hand
- 3Deliver
Clearer communication on every project
One board per client, read-only for them. Trello-style cards, nothing new to learn.
Instead of one board holding everyone — or two you keep in sync
- 4Schedule
A queue that puts clients at ease
Every project in one view, plus a page that answers "when is it my turn" without a DM.
Instead of a spreadsheet, Milanote and a paper ledger
- 5Show
Finished work helps you find the next client
Completed pieces become your portfolio — and each one can open the quote sheet it was priced from.
Instead of a final post that scrolls away by Thursday
- 6Measure
Numbers will tell you how to grow your business
Revenue, repeat clients and channels, totalled by month. Already recorded — there's nothing to fill in.
Instead of exporting Trello and building the spreadsheet yourself
…and back to the top: the portfolio takes requests too
Artists' complaints about the tools they use
Inefficient tools cost you hours, cost you your clients' trust, and waste the traffic you worked hard for. Your energy should be going into the work.
“i've been doing commissions on and off my entire art life and i feel like i've never had a 'good' way of keeping track of my queue.”
“I use Trello... but knowing it can look cluttered/not easy to read for clients, I made 2 versions”
“that 'observer' thing being paid is annoying af...for commissions, notion or even a simple google sheet works just as well without paying trello premium”

“I'm really just trying to make it so someone can't go into the board and move stuff around and write something offensive everywhere”
“I've been in for a month now and hardly got any likes, followers, inquiries or commissions”
“The only downside of VGen is the site tax but it's justified”

What we do, and what we don't
We don't do traffic, payments or negotiation. We focus on your delivery workflow — every client served properly, every piece adding to a brand that stays yours.
| Step | What you use today | What goes wrong | Our approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finding clients | VGen, Artistree, Twitter, Discord | — | Not ours. Your portfolio page converts the traffic you already have. |
| Negotiating | Twitter DMs, Discord, platform messages | — | Not ours — it stays in your DMs. We start once the deal is agreed. |
| Quoting | Canva, free templates, a peer's layout | No structured data — slow to build, and nobody can enquire from it. | Quote sheet templates, built from structured sections. |
| Taking the enquiry | Google Forms, DMs | Nothing is collected or announced on its own. | Requests come in from the sheet and land in your inbox, with an email. |
| Getting paid | PayPal, Stripe, platform checkout | Marketplaces take 5–6.5% of it. | Not ours. Keep taking payment where you do now — 0% to us. |
| Managing the work | Trello, Notion | Every client in one pile. Costly to explain, and cut off from your portfolio. | One board per client. Same as Trello — nothing to learn. |
| Scheduling | Spreadsheets, Milanote, a paper ledger | A separate queue to keep by hand. | One ordered queue you drag into shape, and clients can see where they stand. |
| Showing the work | Twitter, VGen, Artistree, Carrd | Spread across four places, and the platform ones aren't yours. | Finished projects become brand assets on their own. |
