Let's create your first project entry.

Navigate to Add Project Page

  1. Go to the Projects page
  2. Click the "Add Projects" button at the top
  3. You'll be redirected to Manage Project page

Understanding the Project Form

The project form consists of one main card called "Project Section" where you'll enter:

Basic Information:

  • Tag - Category or type for organizing projects
  • Client - The client for whom this project was done
  • Title - Project name (3-25 characters)

  • Public - Whether project is visible on website (True/False)

Step 2: Organizing Projects with Tags

Tags help you categorize and organize your projects by type, industry, or service category, making it easier for visitors to browse related work.

What is a Tag?

A Tag is a label or category that groups related projects together. For example:

  • "Web Development" - All web-related projects
  • "Design" - Graphic design projects
  • "Consulting" - Advisory projects
  • "Marketing" - Marketing campaign projects
  • "Mobile Apps" - Mobile application projects

Select or Create a Tag

On the Manage Project page, find the Tag field:

  1. You'll see a button labeled "Choose Tag" or showing "No Tag Chosen" if no tag is selected yet
  2. Click the "Choose Tag" button
  3. The Tag Dialog will open with two tabs

Tab 1: Existing Tags

This tab displays all your existing tags:

  • Selecting a Tag:

    1. Browse through the list of existing tags
    2. Click on any tag name to select it for your project
    3. The dialog will close and the tag will be assigned to your project
  • Managing Tags:

    • Each tag has a three-dot menu icon on the right
    • Click the menu to Edit or Delete the tag
    • Edit opens the "Manage Tags" tab with the tag pre-filled
    • Delete removes the tag (only if not in use)

Tab 2: Manage Tags

This tab allows you to create new tags or edit existing ones:

  1. Click the "Manage Tags" tab at the top
  2. You'll see a form with:
    • Add Tag or Edit Tag heading (depending on whether you're editing)
    • Tag Name field (3-25 characters)
  3. Enter your tag name
    • Examples: "Web Development", "Design", "Consulting", "Marketing", "Mobile Apps"
  4. Click "Save & Submit"
  5. The tag will be created (or updated if editing)
  6. You'll automatically return to the "Existing Tags" tab
  7. Click on your newly created tag to select it for your project

Tag Best Practices:

  • Use clear, descriptive tag names
  • Group similar projects under the same tag
  • Avoid creating too many tags (5-10 tags is ideal)
  • Use professional, industry-standard terms
  • Match tags with your service categories when possible

Step 3: Linking a Client to Your Project

Every project must be associated with a client. This helps you track which work was done for which client and can display client information alongside the project.

Prerequisites

Before linking a client, you need to:

  1. Create clients in the Clients app first
  2. Ensure you have the client information ready

If you haven't created clients yet:

  • Visit the Clients Tutorial to learn how to create clients
  • Add clients first, then come back to link them to projects

Adding a Client to Your Project

On the Manage Project page, find the Client field:

  1. Click the "Choose Client" button
  2. The Client Dialog will open showing all your existing clients
  3. Click on any client card to select it for your project
  4. The dialog will close and the client will be linked to your project

Client Dialog Features:

Refresh Button:

  • Located at the top left
  • Click to reload the latest clients from the server
  • Useful if you just created new clients in another tab

Add Client Button:

  • Located at the top right
  • Redirects you to the Add Client page
  • Use this to create new clients without leaving the project form
  • After creating a client, return to the project form and click Refresh in the Client Dialog

Selecting Clients:

  • Browse the scrollable list of available clients
  • Click on any client card to select it
  • Each client card shows the client name and has an edit option

Important: Each project must be linked to exactly one client. You cannot save a project without selecting a client.


Step 4: Adding Project Details

Now let's fill in the core information about your project.

Title

  1. Find the Title field
  2. Enter your project name (3-25 characters)

Title Writing Tips:

  • Be specific and descriptive
  • Include the project type or deliverable
  • Make it client-focused when possible
  • Keep it concise and clear

Examples:

  • Good: "E-commerce Website for Fashion Boutique"
  • Bad: "Website Project"
  • Good: "Brand Identity Design for Restaurant"
  • Bad: "Logo Design"
  • Good: "Mobile App Development for Delivery Service"
  • Bad: "App Project"

Subtitle

  1. Find the Subtitle field
  2. Enter a brief tagline or summary (3-75 characters)

Subtitle Writing Tips:

  • Summarize the project's main outcome or benefit
  • Highlight the key deliverable
  • Use it to provide context
  • Make it complement the title

Examples:

Title: "E-commerce Website for Fashion Boutique" Subtitle: "Complete online store with custom design and payment integration"

  1. Find the Description field
  2. Enter a comprehensive explanation of your project (3-250 characters)

Description Writing Tips:

Be Detailed and Informative:

  • Explain what the project included
  • Highlight key challenges and solutions
  • Describe the process or approach
  • Mention deliverables or outcomes
  • Include measurable results when possible

Structure Your Description:

  • Start with project overview
  • List key features or deliverables
  • End with results or benefits achieved

Use Professional Language:

  • Focus on outcomes and value delivered
  • Use specific details (not vague claims)
  • Mention technologies or methods used
  • Highlight client satisfaction or results

Example Descriptions:

Project: E-commerce Website for Fashion Boutique

"Developed a fully responsive e-commerce website with custom product catalog, shopping cart, and secure payment integration. Implemented inventory management system, customer account features, and order tracking. The site achieved a 40% increase in online sales within the first three months and improved mobile conversion rates by 60%. Built using modern web technologies with focus on performance and user experience."

Developed cohesive brand story that resonated with target audience and differentiated the restaurant in local market. Client reported 50% increase in customer recognition and positive feedback on new brand image."


Step 5: Setting Project Status

Track the current state of your project with the status field.

Project Status Options

  1. Find the Project Status field
  2. Select from the dropdown:
    • Ongoing - Project is currently in progress
    • Completed - Project has been finished and delivered
    • Paused - Project is temporarily on hold
    • Cancelled - Project was terminated before completion

When to Use Each Status:

Ongoing:

  • Active projects currently in development
  • Work that is being actively executed
  • Projects with upcoming milestones
  • Regular client engagements in progress

Completed:

  • Successfully delivered projects
  • Work that has been finalized and accepted
  • Projects where all deliverables are finished
  • Showcase your best finished work

Paused:

  • Projects temporarily on hold by client request
  • Work delayed due to external factors
  • Projects awaiting client feedback or decisions
  • Seasonal projects between active periods

Cancelled:

  • Projects terminated by client or mutual agreement
  • Work that didn't proceed beyond initial phases
  • Generally not displayed publicly unless necessary
  • Kept for internal records

Best Practice: Most projects displayed on your website should have "Completed" status to showcase finished work. Use "Ongoing" sparingly for major current projects.


Step 6: Setting Project Timeline

Define when the project started and when it ended (or is expected to end).

Start Date

  1. Find the Start Date field
  2. Click on the date picker
  3. Select the date when the project began
  4. The start date must be before the end date

Start Date Tips:

  • Use the actual project kickoff date
  • Can be a past, present, or future date
  • Be accurate for timeline credibility
  • Helps show project duration

End Date

  1. Find the End Date field
  2. Click on the date picker
  3. Select the date when the project ended or is expected to end
  4. The end date must be after the start date

End Date Tips:

  • For completed projects: Use actual completion date
  • For ongoing projects: Use expected completion date
  • For paused projects: Use original or revised end date
  • Update as timelines change

Timeline Best Practices:

  • Be realistic with dates
  • Update end dates if projects extend
  • Show reasonable project durations
  • Longer timelines can indicate project complexity
  • Shorter timelines can show efficiency

Example Timelines:

  • Website Project: 2-3 months
  • App Development: 4-6 months
  • Branding Project: 1-2 months
  • Consulting Engagement: 3-6 months
  • Small Design Project: 2-4 weeks

Step 7: Adding Project Links

Add up to 5 links related to your project such as live websites, demos, case studies, or documentation.

What are Project Links?

Links are URLs that provide additional information or access to project deliverables. Examples include:

  • Live website URLs
  • Demo or prototype links
  • Case study pages
  • Documentation or reports
  • GitHub repositories (if applicable)
  • Video demonstrations
  • Client testimonial pages

Adding Links (Optional)

  1. Find the Links field on the form
  2. Click the "Add Link" button to add a new link card
  3. Each link card shows:
    • A label "Link 1", "Link 2", etc.
    • An input field to enter your URL (3-150 characters)
    • A delete button (trash icon) in the top-right corner
  4. Type your link directly in the input field
  5. Click "Add Link" again to add more links
  6. You can have a minimum of 0 and maximum of 5 links

To Edit a Link:

  • Simply click in the input field and type your changes directly

To Delete a Link:

  • Click the delete button (trash icon) in the top-right corner of the link card

Link Examples:

For Web Development Projects:

  • "https://www.figma.com/proto/..." - Interactive prototype

Link Best Practices:

  • Use full, valid URLs (include https://)
  • Ensure links are publicly accessible
  • Test links before saving
  • Use shortened URLs for long links
  • Keep link text descriptive
  • Update broken or changed links
  • Only include relevant, professional links

When to Skip Links:

  • No online presence exists
  • Client requested confidentiality
  • Project is offline/internal only
  • No appropriate URLs available

Step 8: Adding Media Images

Visual content is crucial for showcasing your projects. Let's add images that demonstrate your work quality.

Understanding Media Types

Primary Media:

  • Main image representing your project
  • Displayed prominently on your project card
  • Required for every project
  • Should be your best project image

Media List (Gallery):

  • Additional images showcasing your project (1-10 images required)
  • Use these to show multiple aspects, screens, or angles of your work
  • Minimum 1 image required, maximum 10 images allowed

Add Primary Media

  1. On the Manage Project page, find the Primary Media section
  2. Click the "Choose Media" button
  3. The Media Dialog will open

Understanding the Media Dialog:

The Media Dialog has two tabs:

Tab 1: Asset Manager

  • Browse images already uploaded to your Asset Manager app
  • Navigate to the "Projects" folder to see previously uploaded project images
  • Click on any image to select it for your project

Tab 2: Upload Files

  • Upload new images directly from your computer
  • Supported formats: PNG, JPEG
  • Maximum file size: 1MB
  • After upload completes, the image will be automatically selected

About Media and Asset Manager:

When you upload images in Projects, they are automatically organized in your Asset Manager app under the "Projects" folder. This means:

  • All your project images are stored in one organized place
  • You can reuse the same image in multiple projects
  • You can manage all your images later from the Asset Manager app

Tip: You don't need to worry about organizing files yourself - everything is automatically saved to the right folder.

Add Media List (Gallery)

After adding your primary media, add more images to your gallery (1-10 images required):

  1. Find the Media List section on the form
  2. Click the "Add Media" button to add images
  3. Choose from existing images in the "Projects" folder or upload new images
  4. All uploads are automatically saved to the "Projects" folder in Asset Manager
  5. Select your images
  6. Repeat to add more images (you must add at least 1 image, maximum 10 images)

When to Use Media List:

  • Show before/after comparisons
  • Display different screens or pages
  • Showcase various project components
  • Demonstrate features or functionality
  • Present multiple deliverables
  • Show process or behind-the-scenes

Example:

For Web Development Project:

  • Primary Media: Homepage screenshot
  • Media List: About page, services page, contact page, mobile view

For Design Project:

  • Primary Media: Final logo design
  • Media List: Brand colors, typography, business card, letterhead, signage

For App Project:

  • Primary Media: App home screen
  • Media List: Key features screens, user flow, settings, notifications

Step 9: Managing Project Visibility

Control whether a project is visible on your public website or kept private for internal records.

Public Setting

  1. Find the Public field
  2. Select from the dropdown:
    • True - Project is published on website
    • False - Project is private and not shown on website

What Gets Published When Public is True:

  • Project title and subtitle
  • Project description
  • Primary media and media gallery
  • Project timeline (start and end dates)
  • Project status
  • Client information (if client is also set to public)
  • Project links

When to Set Public = True:

  • Project represents your best work
  • Client has given permission to showcase
  • Work demonstrates your expertise
  • Project has strong visual appeal
  • Results are impressive and demonstrable
  • Builds credibility for your business

When to Set Public = False:

  • Client hasn't given permission
  • Confidential or sensitive projects
  • Internal projects or experiments
  • Work-in-progress not ready to show
  • Projects with NDA restrictions
  • Results were not ideal
  • Client-specific internal tools

Important: Always obtain client permission before making their project public on your website. Respecting confidentiality builds trust and maintains professional relationships.

  5. Check website status in Website app
