Mood boards don't pay the bills. Getting signed does.
Send one link with your design packages. Clients pick a tier, approve the scope, and pay before you start sourcing furniture or creating renders.

Sound familiar?
Hours spent on mood boards for prospects who vanish
You create a mood board during the 'discovery phase.' The prospect loves your taste. Then they take your ideas to a cheaper designer -- or worse, try to DIY it with Havenly and Pinterest.
Clients who treat design fees as optional
They'll pay $8,000 for a sofa without blinking. But your design fee? 'Can't you make it up on the furniture markup?' Your expertise is the most valuable part, and they treat it as a line item to negotiate away.
Scope shifts from 'one room' to 'the whole house'
You scoped the living room. Now they're asking about the kitchen, the primary bedroom, and 'while you're at it, the powder room.' Each room is a project. They see it as one conversation.
The solution
How SendScope helps
Design packages from consultation to full service
Offer a Design Consultation, Single Room Refresh, and Full Home Design as tiers. Each lists deliverables -- concept boards, floor plans, 3D renders, procurement, and installation oversight.
Design fee collected upfront
Clients pay the design fee through Stripe when they approve. You start sourcing and designing knowing your time and expertise are compensated. No more free mood boards.
Room-by-room scope control
Each tier specifies which rooms are included. When the client asks about 'the powder room too,' you offer an add-on deal page for the additional space with clear pricing.
Professional presentation matches your aesthetic
Your deal page is clean and polished. Clients see a designer who runs a serious business, which reinforces the value of your fees.
How it works
Three steps to getting paid
Create your deal page
Set up your design services as tiers. Define the scope per room or per project -- deliverables, procurement, installation, and any exclusions.
Share after the in-home consultation
Send one link after you've walked the space. Your client reviews the options with their partner and picks a tier that fits their budget and goals.
Collect payment and start designing
Your client approves and pays. You start the concept phase with the design fee in your account and a clear scope to work within.
