“Can you make it pop?”
Somewhere right now a client is asking for the logo to pop. We cannot fix that. We can make sure the brief they signed says what pop means.
Graphic designer CRM · briefs · amends · invoices
A graphic designer CRM that puts round three in writing.
Veyra is a graphic designer CRM for freelancers and small studios: enquiry forms, questionnaires and contracts signed online, projects with deadlines, image proofs your client can comment on, revision rounds counted against what you agreed, and invoices with deposits and payment plans. It starts at £0, which is cheaper than one font licence.
No card required. Paid plans start at £6 a month, excluding VAT.
Why designers need a better back office
Amends multiply when nobody counts
Two rounds becomes five when the feedback lives in emails, WhatsApp and a voice note recorded in a car. Veyra counts rounds on the project, in public.
Deposits are not rude
Half up front is common in design. A deposit line on the invoice and a payment link make it feel normal to the client too.
What is included
From brief to sign off, without the inbox archaeology.
- Enquiry forms and booking pagesBuild your own enquiry form, publish services with a price, a duration and a deposit, and let clients book from a link.
- Contracts and proposals, signed onlineSend a contract, proposal or questionnaire from the project. The client signs on their phone and you countersign.
- Projects and a pipeline you nameEvery job is a project with its people, dates, money and deliverables. Rename the stages to match how you actually work.
- Rounds of changes, countedMark a deliverable as with the client, changes asked for, approved or delivered. Veyra counts the rounds against what you agreed.
- Invoices, deposits and payment plansDeposits, instalments and VAT on each line, in your studio's currency. Clients pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer.
- Reviews and referralsAsk for a review and thank a referrer with a gift card. A review only goes live once the client ticks to publish it.
One record
The brief and the final invoice are on the same page.
Questionnaire answers, the signed contract, every proof, every round of feedback and the money, on one project. When the client says “we never agreed that”, you can show them, kindly.
How a design job runs in Veyra
1. The brief. Send a questionnaire from the project. The client answers in their own words, which you will quote back to them gently in round two.
2. The agreement. A proposal and a contract with the scope, the rounds of amends, the timeline and the deposit. Signed online. Countersigned by you.
3. The proofs. Upload PNG, JPG or TIFF proofs to a private gallery. The client favourites the direction they like and comments on each file.
4. The rounds. Log each round of changes. Veyra counts them against the contract, so extra rounds become a polite quote instead of a quiet resentment.
5. The invoice. Deposit at the start, balance at sign off, VAT on each line if you are registered. If your client is a business, UK law is on your side: with no agreed date, payment is late 30 days after the invoice, and you can claim interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate plus a fixed £40, £70 or £100 depending on the size of the debt (GOV.UK: late commercial payments). Put the due date on the invoice anyway. Nobody enjoys quoting legislation at a client, but it is nice to know it is there.
What Veyra does not do for designers yet
- No PDF, .ai, .svg, .eps or zip uploads. Galleries take images and video, so proofs work and source file handover still needs a file transfer.
- No client approve button. The client comments, and you record the approval on the project.
- No pinned comments on a spot in the artwork. Comments sit on the whole file.
- No client portal: the client gets a link for the gallery, the contract and the invoice separately.

Questions graphic designers ask
What is the best CRM for graphic designers?
A graphic designer CRM should handle the brief, the contract, the rounds of amends, the sign off and the invoice without a spreadsheet in the middle. Veyra does that on one project record, counts revision rounds against what you agreed, and starts at £0, with paid plans from £6 a month excluding VAT.
Can clients comment on design proofs in Veyra?
Yes, for image files. Upload PNG, JPG or TIFF proofs to a private gallery, and the client can favourite, build lists and comment on each one. PDF and source files are not supported yet.
Can I limit the number of revision rounds?
You agree the number in your contract, and Veyra counts each round as a deliverable moves from with the client to changes asked for. When the count runs out, you will know before the client does.
Can I send a design questionnaire or brief form?
Yes. Questionnaires, proposals and contracts are document templates you send from the project, and the client fills them in and signs online.
Can I deliver final logo files and PDFs through Veyra?
Not yet. Veyra accepts images and video, so PNG, JPG and TIFF exports work, but .ai, .svg, .eps, PDF and zip files do not. Keep a file transfer for source files for now.
