proofHQ

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Basecamp from 37signals is a web-based project management application which quite a few people know about (I’ve spoken about them a number of times before). Ok, nothing new here then you might say.

Well, hold your horses - there is, and it is pretty darn good.

proofHQ is a webapp I heard of a few months ago and didn’t actually think much of it. However, having had a good look at it and the fact it integrates with Basecamp, means that I am now very interested.

ProofHQ is a smarter, easier way to manage review and approval of designs, artwork and documents. It is an online collaboration, proofing and approval tool built specifically for brands, agencies, designers, print and production.

I’ve been looking at a way of proofing materials with clients, and this looks like an impressive solution. Check out the video below:

Pretty nifty eh? I’m going to sign up and have a look, but if you are already using it, I would welcome your thoughts and experiences so far. Thanks!

UPDATE: I’ve just signed up for the free account to test it out, and I am VERY impressed. Simple sign up process and a simple set up. Some other highlights:

• Simple, simple simple to link to my Basecamp account - this then gives an option to post proof to any of my Basecamp projects - brilliant
• Great instructional videos - clear and well produced
• The UI for proofing is slicktastic - very easy to understand

One thing I think they could add is a big, visible link to go back to the dashboard from the proofing page. Apart from that, I’m going to start using this immediately and may upgrade to a paid account. Well done guys on a top job!
