Advantages of Using an Online Proofing Software

Almost every company is loaded with creating design-centric products that focus heavily on graphics and aesthetic appeal. Typically that’s a translation for working collectively in teams. There’s designers, managers, clients, and so on. If you’re someone whose job belongs to the same niche, do get your hands on a good online proofing tool, in case you haven't  already.



Perhaps you’re wondering, ‘why do I need one when I’m perfectly happy with the way things are right now?’. There’s email, there’s phone, skype, online chatting and everything else I need for exchanging files and communicating. Then why do I need another software? Well, below-mentioned points will explain it all. Take a look -

1. Easy to use 

Online proofing software is extremely easy to use. All you need is access to a browser, internet connection, and that’s it!. Just upload a design sample, invite relevant people to join and you’re good to go. Designers can go on creating designs and clients can keep giving feedback; all in the same place. The whole arrangement simplifies an otherwise complicated system where designers send reworked samples over and over until both the parties are in a happy place.

2. Quick approval and feedback sharing

Quick, reliable, and satisfactory. These adjectives perfectly describe the expectations clients have from the teams working for them. Same goes for designers. Having a proofing software at your disposal is an excellent way in which designers can make their work life super simple. All the parties have access to the file, with no distractions to slow down the flow or work. Everyone has a common place to share their opinion and feedback. Files/design samples can be approved in half the time than it normally takes.

3. Accessible from anywhere 

Unlike software that needs installation first before you could use them, an online proofing tool is accessible from anywhere. You don’t need any software setup or go through multiple steps before you are finally logged into the software. As long as you have access to internet and browser, the tool is accessible. The login credentials is all you need to start using one.

4. Less talk, more work

Communicating over emails (especially when discussing a design sample) is nothing but an invite to confusion. One has to be very specific about what part of the sample they’re referring to. The recipient of feedback then has to decipher the message to make sure he interpreted it correctly. An online proofing tool removes this confusion. Just highlight the content/area and explain what needs change. No need to waste time and energy just to explain a simple point.

5. Maintains accuracy in work

The fact that you end-up talking less and working more naturally preserves precision and accuracy in work. Misinterpretation of data/message is a huge reason behind inaccuracies at work. Proofing tools eliminate the possibility of either parties misinterpreting a feedback or message. Designers can get things right in fewer attempts without many do-overs.

There’s nothing wrong with sticking to conventional methods of designing and feedback sharing. But, if you want faster work, more accuracy, and less troubled worklife as a designer; you sure need to get a good software and see for yourself how things take a positive turn.
