Made for agencies
loved by clients.
Outlign is the simplest way to manage creative projects, helping your team work more consistently and your clients embrace your process.
Process driven
Process-driven projects to keep everyone on track.
As an agency your value and uniqueness is in your process. Any time you’re “making it up as you go along” is costing you money and confusing your clients.
We’ve put process at the heart of Outlign - keeping you and your clients on track, together.
Kill scope creep.
Use separate steps to track rounds of revisions and milestone sign off, removing any guesswork about what’s been delivered.
Always start on the same page.
Create templates for every phase and step in your optimum project flows.
Work and wiki side by side.
Internal notes can be added to guide your account manages on the why and how of every step.
This is the first project management platform that's actually saved me money.

Client focused
A workspace that’s actually good for clients.
Other project management tools are great for your internal team, but they’re confusing as hell for clients. So you either stay in a never-ending mess of emails or throw them in the deep end of your busy-as-hell kanban board.
Outlign was designed with client communication and collaboration in mind.
A map for your creative process.
Use phases and steps to guide your client through the project. They’ll always know exactly where things are at, and what’s coming next.
Bullet proof approvals
Remove any confusion with clear sign-off points. See who approved what and when.
Feedback
Foster meaningful discussion and feedback on every step and task in all of your projects.
School up clients on your process
You know a tonne about the creative process but maybe the client doesn't. Start each phase with an education step to school up your clients and teach them about what's ahead.
Introducing the first communal workspace.
A unique client view and an agency planning view, all from one screen.
Say goodbye to time-consuming clicks and project-switching, everything you need to get the creative work done is here, in one easy place.
Designed with creative agency teams in mind, the project workspace inside Outlign is a game-changer. It’s two unique workspaces in one.
A simple progress view for the client and a more detailed board style for the agency to plan and action work.
And don’t worry, we make it crystal clear what side of the project you’re posting to with next level access control for users.
Choose what your internal team sees, keeping them focused on their tasks while project managers can seamlessly navigate both client and agency views.
Clients just get it
An agency invited Nissa to Outlign for a website rebuild. She said managing her side of the project and monitoring progress was easy and hitting milestones was a lot easier. Hear her story.
