The Client Welcome Guide

An Adobe Indesign Template For Designers

What is the client welcome guide?

The client welcome guide is a template for designers helping you to up-level your client experience + the overall design process as well as help to manage client expectations from the get go.

Communicating well & establishing boundaries is the best way to serve your clients well and this template will help with both! If I had the CWG when I first started my business, it would have saved me from learning SO many lessons the hard way. The CWG is perfect for you if you are a new designer looking to set expectations and serve your clients well from the get go, or if you have been designing for years and just haven’t found the time to create a welcome guide (I get it!)

What people are saying:

A Client Welcome Guide is one of those documents that you always needed, but didn’t create yet because there is simply never enough time. Tadaa! There it was. Studio Antheia's template allows you to easily adapt it to your own studio’s brand in a matter of time, saving heaps of time and adding a great much needed step into your client communication adding value and clarity to your design process. Big bonus: you will no longer receive bad feedback.

What people are saying:

We just purchased your welcome kit + wow - it’s beyond anything we could have hoped. Your verbiage is so lovely: welcoming, but assertive, friendly, yet professional.

Beautifully well done, so grateful that you shared.

What people are saying:

I just wanted to reach out and let you know how amazing the Client Guide has been for me and my business! I recently suffered a loss of all my business files in a drive crash. In doing so, I lost my own info guides I had already created. Your guide coming out was perfect timing because I immediately purchased and knew it would be a way to still have the resource but not spend hours trying to recreate my other one. The content is perfect and very in line with my process so it’s been amazing and so easy to customize! I’ve also used it as a template to create a similar website client welcome guide and now even a guide that outlines content I need from a web client. I’ve found it to be versatile and easy to customize. So worth the investment and I’m grateful to have this resource!

Frequently Asked Questions

WHo is it for?

The CWG was created specifically for graphic designers who are looking to make their design process smoother as well as manage client expectations from the get go.

Is this only for new designers?

No! While I wish I had the CWG when I first started out, it will also be beneficial to experienced designers who just have not had the time to create an in depth welcome guide.

What size is it?

The file is sized to be A4. However, I have been playing around with the idea of also including an editorial spread version. Feel free to let me know if that is something that interests you!

WHAT'S YOUR REFUND POLICY?

Since this is a digital product and you access all of the files immediately among purchase, all sales are final. If you have any questions about your template, feel free to send me an email. I am happy to help!

What format is it?

The CWG is an Adobe InDesign File. There is an INDD file for Creative Cloud users as well as an IDML file for anyone using CS4 and beyond.

Can I use your words?

Yes! If you are a brand designer, I created the guide so that most of the content will be applicable to you and you can easily update what is not or make changes to reflect your own unique voice!

Does it include the photos in the mockups?

For copyright purposes, it does not. Most likely you would want to use your own branded images anyways! However, if you love the ones used in the mockup, I had a custom album created with those images that you can purchase here.

Is the template easy to customize?

Yes! I strategically designed it so that you can easily customize the template to fit your brand. There are instructions on how to customize your name, contact info, fonts and color palette in just a matter of seconds!

up-leveling the design experience for you and your clients.
