Format, recently acquired by Zenfolio rolls out new offering

Format, the leading resource for creative professionals to build beautiful online portfolio websites, is now bundling its exclusive Workflow platform with all subscription plans.

Effective immediately, all Format plans include Workflow studio management to help members improve client collaboration and grow their business. According to Chief Executive Officer, John Loughlin, “Workflow and project management functionality gives creative professionals a tremendous advantage by streamlining interactions with their clients and delivering a higher level of service.”

Format Workflow gives artists, designers, photographers, and all creative professionals a set of features to help expedite and automate time-consuming tasks such as sending images and gathering client feedback. Workflow enables high-resolution file uploading and transfers for clients with annotation and contextual details, unlike most file transfer services. The artist controls the client gallery presentation and layout, resulting in highly professional communication and project tracking with full customer relationship management (CRM) tools.
