Designers often lose track of client feedback buried in email threads or chat apps. Workspace369 houses client conversations and files in one location, allowing a person to record design decisions before moving to the testing phase. This helps the team track specifications and keep the project record updated for stakeholders involved in the UI approval process.
Coordinating usability participants and client observers manually leads to scheduling challenges and missed research windows. Using the scheduling feature allows you to block out research sprints and, from Specialist, share booking pages with participants, helping keep the UX process on track. This supports the transition from design agreement to active user testing within the planned project timeline.
When moving from screen design to testing, tasks and files often get scattered across different folders. The project and task management tools allow you to map out the transition, so a person can link design files to the correct testing task for the research team. This helps maintain a connection between the creative assets and the research objectives, making it easier to track project progress.
Billing for design iterations and separate research phases can become a manual calculation challenge. Workspace369 handles invoices based on project milestones, allowing you to bill for the design phase immediately after screen agreement and before the usability testing begins. This helps your studio manage billing and send invoices for the specific services delivered during the engagement.
Clients watch progress, files, and invoices in a branded portal instead of asking your team for updates.
Email lands beside the client record on every plan; texts, calls and voicemail join it from Voyager, with AI call summaries from Specialist.
Tasks, files, and status for every engagement — visible to the team and, through the client portal, to the client.
Send quotes, bill milestones or retainers, and let automated reminders chase anything outstanding.
Draft a proposal detailing the scope for both the UI design phase and the subsequent UX testing phase. Send this to the client for digital acceptance, ensuring all design deliverables and testing parameters are agreed upon before the project starts in the system. This initial record sets the stage for all future tasks and helps clarify the transition from creative design to research for the client.
Create a new project record and break it down into tasks for wireframing and high-fidelity design. Upload initial design files and keep client conversations within the project record to maintain a history of design choices and client approvals. This organization allows the design team to stay focused on the creative work while a person records the client requirements and project history in the system.
Once designs are finalized, record the client's agreement in the project brief. This acts as the formal trigger to move from the creative design phase into the technical usability testing phase, helping to verify that work proceeds with a documented sign-off. By recording this agreement in the system, you can manage scope creep and base the testing phase on the approved designs.
Use the scheduling tool to invite participants for testing sessions. Link these sessions to specific tasks in the project to track progress. Record the findings in the client records so the research outcomes are accessible for the final UI iterations. This step helps coordinate the scheduling of participants and allows a person to tie research data back to the original designs.
Generate an invoice for the completed design and testing phases. The client can access this through the client portal, where they also view the final project files and conversation history, providing a professional conclusion to the UX/UI engagement. This final step closes out the engagement and provides the client with access to the project deliverables and the final billing.

Keep live prototypes in Figma or your design tool. Workspace369 records the project tasks, stores static design files for reference, and manages the client conversations, approvals and invoices around those prototypes.
You should record participant feedback within the project conversation or as attached files within the specific testing task. This allows the research data to be tied to the client record and project history, providing a documented record of why certain UI changes were made based on the testing results.
Recruit participants through your research panel or other channels, then use Workspace369 scheduling to coordinate their sessions, linking them to your design project tasks to maintain a complete project timeline for the client.
You can create a new invoice or update the project tasks to reflect additional design iterations. By recording these changes in the project conversation, you maintain transparency with the client about why additional costs are being incurred based on the usability test results and subsequent UI refinements.
