When you think of design templates, you may think of Canva, which changed design to make it easy for more people to create customized media. But Canva only goes so far for businesses – it lacks the guardrails that brands and agencies need to ensure design integrity when inviting more users (including non-designers) into the process.
Where Canva falls short, Design Huddle shines – with a white-label, embeddable design and video platform built specifically for business use. Design Huddle simplifies media creation by enabling agencies and brands to turn their designs and videos into editable templates for a range of users.
Whether you’re part of an agency or an in-house design team, here are five reasons to use Design Huddle’s Brand Management Tool when inviting non-specialists into the creative process.
Maintaining brand and design consistency is a top priority for design teams. You want to empower your clients and team members to edit their videos and designs, but you also need to provide them with guardrails to guarantee designs stay on brand.
Design Huddle’s granular locking capabilities and the ability to add placeholders within templates ensure non-designers stay within the brand’s design guidelines while maintaining control over key design elements. For example, you can lock down branding components but offer flexibility to edit text, add hyperlinks, and swap out images. To further streamline the design and editing process, you can store the latest approved brand assets - logos, colors, fonts, and media - or integrate with a DAM or media library, making it easy for your users to access everything in one place.
Anyone who’s ever worked at a design agency knows the pain of revision hell – be it with a client or even internally between design and marketing teams. Tweak this image. Change that color. Update the video. Seemingly small changes turn into a big headache.
Design Huddle’s Brand Management Tool eliminates this endless back-and-forth cycle, saving everyone time and accelerating the path to final design. By giving your client (or other team members) access to editable templates and our easy-to-use editor, you enable them to make small text, hyperlink, and media changes on their own. You can also use Design Huddle’s Approval Queue to review changes, request revisions, and streamline final approvals.
Design Huddle makes life easier for in-house design teams too. If you’re working on a design team within a company, you’re inundated with mundane design requests that pull you away from more creative work.
By using Design Huddle, design teams can create branded designs – such as social media posts, display ads, email graphics, and sales decks – in their platform of choice. The designs can then be easily imported as templates into Design Huddle with locking enabled. From there, users–including those in sales and marketing– can manipulate text and images without breaking design rules.
Users are empowered to make the changes they need to keep content fresh – quickly. Design teams get the time and freedom to focus on creating and innovating. And companies gain the advantage of speeding forward with new assets and designs.
Additionally, our image upscaling AI tool which detects and fixes resolution issues and removes image and video backgrounds, helps teams expedite template creation while ensuring project quality.
