- Designing mood boards inside BuiltLong. Boards hold images you upload.

- CAD, floor plans, or renderings
- Time billing, invoices, or accounting
- Calendar sync. You schedule site visits your usual way.
Questions
Questions about BuiltLong for interior designers
Do I need a portfolio to start?
No. You can publish with your story, services, and project details, then add selected images when you have the rights to show them. Each published image needs a rights confirmation and a description.
How do clients approve a design direction?
On Plus, open a client space from an accepted inquiry, add a board of selected images, and send it for review. The client approves or requests changes, and the decision is kept with the version they saw.
Where does the deposit go?
Straight to your connected payment account, never through BuiltLong, and out to your bank. The BuiltLong fee is 2% on Free or 1% on Plus. Card processing is separate.
Can BuiltLong handle procurement or milestone billing?
No. Milestone billing, procurement funds, vendor payments, and contractor invoices stay in your current systems. BuiltLong covers the consultation or project-start deposit.
Can I pause new inquiries?
Yes. Set your status to waitlist to keep taking inquiries for later, or to not accepting projects to close the form. Your portfolio stays live either way.
Do I need my own domain?
No. Your site goes live on a free builtlong.com address when you publish. A custom domain is a $99 yearly add-on, and we register, connect, and renew an eligible .com for you or connect one you already own.
