🎨 Why Designers Need More Than Just Photoshop

You’ve mastered Figma, Canva, and Adobe—but running a graphic design business means more than making visuals.

You need to:

• Capture and qualify leads
• Automate onboarding
• Schedule calls
• Close deals
• Manage clients
• Upsell services
• Get paid on time

That’s where GoHighLevel comes in.

🧰 All-in-One Toolkit for Creative Professionals

Add it up, and you're saving time, cost, and mental load.

🤝 CRM and Client Management That Doesn’t Suck

Designers don’t love spreadsheets. GHL’s built-in CRM is visual, simple, and flexible.

• Track leads by pipeline stage
• Tag clients by project type or package
• Send reminders automatically
• View every message in one thread—SMS, email, FB Messenger, and more

You can automate the entire client journey: lead → booked call → paid → onboarding → follow-up → testimonial request.

⚙️ Automate Your Client Communication

Graphic design has tons of touchpoints: mood boards, drafts, approvals, revisions, final files.

Set up workflows that:

• Trigger welcome emails after a lead books
• Send deadline reminders 24h before delivery
• Fire off SMS updates or quick approvals
• Auto-tag contacts when stages are complete

You can use email, text, Messenger, or GHL Chat Widget to keep the project moving.

Bonus: You can create approval flows that route assets for client review and keep feedback organized.

🖥️ Build Landing Pages to Sell Your Services

Want to capture leads from Instagram, YouTube, or Behance?

Use GoHighLevel’s drag-and-drop landing page builder to create:

• Lead magnets (free logo audit, branding guide, checklist)
• Service sales pages
• Booking pages for discovery calls
• Case study pages with embedded designs

Add conversion boosters like:

• Testimonials
• Live chat
• Limited-time offers
• Instant SMS confirmations

Then plug them into your GHL workflows.

🛠️ Design Automation + ClickDesigns Integration

GoHighLevel doesn’t replace Photoshop—but it plays nice with your tools. Connect GHL to ClickDesigns (optional) to:

• Access pre-built graphic templates
• Embed designs directly into funnels
• Build cohesive branding across your client journey

You can also use tools like Canva, Figma, or Illustrator and embed assets into landing pages or emails via drag-and-drop upload.

🧠 Tip: Store swipe files, logos, and templates in GHL media folders for quick reuse across accounts.

💰 White-Label and Resell as a Designer SaaS

This is where things get serious.

With GoHighLevel's SaaS mode, you can:

• Offer branded portals to your clients
• Resell marketing automation under your own name
• Build monthly retainers that go beyond design

Example: Offer a “Brand & Launch” package that includes a logo, funnel, booking calendar, autoresponder, and Google review funnel—all managed in GHL and billed monthly.

It’s scalable, recurring, and positions you as a business solution—not just a designer.
