Project Details + Communication
This area is the project details + communication section. As you can see the designer, or whomever is working with this manufacture, will see the project details - including all files submitted though messages and proposals. These are listed on the side for quick viewing and access.
You will also notice small project details on the site, this allows for the person who hired the manufacturer to have quick access to the details even if their files become corrupted and lost.
The messages are laid out in a very simplistic manner; to really allow for quick and easy communication. I felt that standard emailing and various other messaging platforms seemed out dated, so I figured to do an IM style of messaging this way it feels like an actual conversation between people. This page is also showing what happens when the 'Reply' button is pressed.
Take a look at the attachment to see further details. Feedback is more than welcome. :)
