Client presentations and collaboration
for architects and designers
Present your work.
Keep every comment.
Share drawings, renders, 3D, and video in one link. Clients explore it on any device and comment right on the slide. You see who opened it.
No credit card required.
Start from the files you already have, or paste your website and get a first deck free.
The problem
Most PDFs die in an inbox.
You spend weeks on the design, flatten it into a PDF, and send it. Then nothing. You don't know if it was opened, who read it, or whether it reached the person who decides.
0
signals a PDF sends back once you hit send.
A Foveate link records every visit, comment, and question, so you always know where you stand.
NewFinal-v15.pdf
and the client is still commenting on v12.
No more “NewFinal-v16.pdf”. One link replaces the attachments. Update it, and everyone sees the latest version, comments and all.
Proposals and presentations
Presentations clients enjoy, built from the work you already have.
Drop in your renders and drawings, an old PDF or PowerPoint, or the RFP itself, and Foveate drafts the deck. Anyone in the firm can edit it, no InDesign specialist needed.
Free templates
Start from a template made for architects.
Concept presentations, fee proposals, interview decks, and portfolios, built in Foveate around placeholder projects. Open one and make it yours.

- Opens and time per section
- Per person, not per link.
- A note when they open it
- Hear about it the moment the client opens the link.
- They ask your deck, not ChatGPT
- Clients ask the presentation their questions. It answers from your work, and you see every question.
Clients and pursuits
Pick your pursuits.
Keep your clients.
Find the work worth your time before you write a word, and learn what each client wants long after you've won.
Know your clients, keep them happy
Clients don't talk about design the way architects do. Client Profiler turns what they say into what they want, with the quote behind every score, and the deck assistant can rewrite a slide to speak to them. Happy clients send referrals.

Foveate for firmsWhat we hear
Great work still has to win the job.
Foveate is built by architects and engineers, and it isn't venture-backed.
“The best design tech stack in the world doesn’t mean much if you don’t win the job in the first place.”

“It’s about getting your customer, your clients, and your stakeholders in the same sandbox so that everything’s in one place. It’s a single source of truth.”

“We were able to understand the project with such clarity that it both validated our path and exposed some blind spots we were able to adjust in advance.”

Common questions
Foveate is the pursuit and client experience platform for architecture, engineering, and design firms. It turns drawings, renders, video, and 3D models into one live link clients explore, collects their feedback in one place, and shows what held their attention. Firms that respond to RFPs also get research and a go/no-go on each one.
Yes. The free plan includes 200 AI credits, enough for about ten decks, up to five creations, and a small 'Made with Foveate' badge. Every new account also gets 7 days of Pro. After that, Pro keeps view insights, client profiles, gated and password-protected links, and your own branding, for $39 per person a month, billed annually, on teams of up to ten.
Most people send their first presentation the same day. Start from your renders and drawings, the last PDF, PowerPoint, Word file, or InDesign HTML5 export you sent, or describe the project in a sentence, and Foveate builds an editable draft on your brand. Or paste your website: Foveate reads your logo, colours, and recent projects and builds your first deck, free. You don't need to be an InDesign specialist, so anyone in the firm can make changes.
No. They open one link on any device, with nothing to install and no attachments or versions to keep track of. On a gated link, you can ask viewers for their name and role before the presentation opens, so you know exactly who is reading.
Yes. Nothing is public unless you share it. On Pro, a link can require a password, expire on a date, or ask each viewer for their name and role before it opens. You also choose whether viewers see each other's comments or only their own. Foveate only records activity inside your presentation, and your files are encrypted at rest and in transit.
Yes. Export any presentation to PDF or PowerPoint when a client or a procurement portal asks for a file. You can keep links in the PDF that open the live version, so you still see when they look. Use the live link where it helps most: the shortlist interview, private clients, and the follow-up after you submit.
Yes. Most architecture firms are small, and Foveate is built for them. Presentations, client feedback, and view tracking work from the first day with no setup. The RFP research and pursuit tools are there when you start chasing larger work.
You could build a slide viewer. But the link you send a client is what you stake a pursuit on. It has to be secure, stay up, still open years from now, look right on every device, and tell you who opened it, and someone has to keep it that way. We do that, so your team can spend its time on the design.
Win the work. Keep your weekends.
Spend your time on the design, not the deck, and know who's ready before you call.
