Live client reviews

Present designs live, from the same link the client has.

Walk the client through the design directions in one working page that they follow on their own screen. They make the decision in the room and keep the link afterward.

Who it’s for: Designers, studios and agencies who run review meetings with clients

  1. Drag the before-and-after on the homepage slide.
  2. Book three nights at Eelbrook House on the phone slide.
  3. Make the decision, and the last slide changes.

Why present from a link

Most design reviews run from a deck exported an hour before the meeting, on a shared screen nobody else can touch. Afterward the client gets a PDF, and a PDF can’t show what moved them, like the logo on the dark background or the homepage slider.

In the Saltmarsh review deck above, the client can drag a before-and-after across the homepage and make the decision on the last slide. Everyone sees the same page on their own screen, and it’s still there the next day when the client’s director asks to see it.

Before the meeting

  1. Build the review as a page

    Give your agent the directions, the mockups and what you heard last round. Ask for slides you can step through with the arrow keys, with a few things for the client to try, like a slider or a decision slide.

  2. Share it with the people in the meeting

    Invite them by Email. Switch off Show controls so the page opens full screen, like a presentation.

  3. Check who has opened it

    Views shows who opened the link before the meeting. If the decision-maker already has, you can skip the recap and start with the options.

During the meeting

MomentWhat you do
Kick-offShare your screen on the link, and post the same link in the meeting chat
OptionsLet the client drive, switching directions and backgrounds on their own screen
A quick change“Make the wordmark heavier.” Ask your agent, and everyone reloads the same link to see the new version
The decisionThe client clicks their choice; the summary slide shows next steps and dates

After the meeting

The page becomes the record of the meeting, with what you showed in order and what the client decided. Next round, publish the new directions to the same link. The Versions list keeps every round, so you can answer “what did we show in round one?” in a click.

Already have a deck?

  • A PowerPoint file opens as slides people click through, and you can edit its text in the browser.
  • A Markdown file with Marp slides opens as a deck.
  • Keep the deck, the prototype and the brand kit in one project, each shared with the right people.

See presentations for more on decks.

Prompt

Make your own

Have these ready, then paste the prompt into your agent:

  • The directions with their palettes, type and logos
  • What the client said last round
  • Mockups to show
  • The decision you need
Prompt
Build a design review presentation as one self-contained HTML page for a
client meeting. Slides scale to fit the screen; arrow keys, space and clicks
move between them, O shows every slide, N shows my notes. On phones, show the
slides as one scrolling page.

Include: what we heard, each direction, a side-by-side comparison, a
before-and-after slider of the homepage, and a decision slide whose choice
appears on the final summary slide. Draw mockups in HTML or SVG.

Publish it privately to artifact.guru and give me the link.

Common questions

Do people in the meeting see my changes instantly?

They see them when they reload the link. Publish the change, ask everyone to reload, and the same link shows the new version.

Can the client choose in the page and send it to us?

The page has no server, so a choice can’t be saved for you. Make the decision slide open an email to you with the choice filled in, or note it in the meeting.
