Set up your studio

The short setup you see once your studio exists: your role, logo and your first invitations.

Who can do this: adminsUpdated

The first time you open a new studio, Techstyles walks you through a few short steps. It takes about two minutes, and you can change everything later in Settings.

Steps

  1. Your Role: under What's your role?, pick Studio Owner, Principal Designer, Project Manager or Associate Designer, then click Continue. This becomes your job title.
  2. Branding: click Click to upload logo and choose a PNG or JPG under 2 MB, then click Upload & Continue. No logo yet? Click Skip for now.
  3. Invite Team: enter a colleague's email and choose Admin, Manager or Member. Click Add another for more rows, up to five. Then click Send invites & finish, or Skip for now.
  4. Wait a few seconds on You're all set. You land on Home.

What happens next

  • Your studio is ready, with three starter project templates you can edit in Settings > Templates.
  • Each person you invited gets an email with a link to join. They appear in Settings > Team as Invited until they accept.
  • Setup is marked complete. You are not asked again.
  • Carry on with the Get set up checklist on Home, then create your first project.

Good to know

  • You name your studio when you choose a plan or accept an invitation to set it up, so setup doesn't ask for its details. Add the address and contact details in Settings > General. They appear on proposals, invoices and client emails.
  • Back takes you to the previous step, except on the first one.
  • If the logo upload fails, you still move on. Add it later in Settings > General.
  • If an invitation could not be confirmed, it stays on screen. Check Settings > Team before you send it again, so you do not invite someone twice.
  • Every invitation takes a seat while it is waiting.
  • Setup can't be run again. Everything it asks for can be changed in Settings.
