Sendpreview is a social media advertising tool that lets you quickly create ad mockups for client approval. It was created to solve a pain point I was experiencing with agency clients sharing social media mockups for digital campaigns.
Concept
- The idea for Sendpreview was first born as an internal tool for my production company Banner Build Pty Ltd.
- I wanted a tool to generate ad mockups quickly and send a preview link to clients for review.
- After generating initial concepts and speaking with clients, I realised the tool would also benefit external brands and agencies.
Design
- After developing the UX for Sendpreview, I moved into storyboard designs for the marketing website and platform.
- This allowed me to refine the platform user flow before proceeding with production.
- The storyboards were developed using a mix of Photoshop, Illustrator & Figma.
Production
- Building Sendpreview required a mix of skills to bring this product to life. From developing quick prototypes, creating reusable components and providing a clean structure for both the front & backend.
- This tool was developed using HTML/CSS, React JS, Tailwind CSS, AWS, Auth0, Stripe, Google Analytics, Jira, GitHub, VS Code, Google Workspace.
- Sign up to a free account to test the platform.
Launch
- After Sendpreview launched, I promoted it to my network via social media and organic search.
- 1,700 users signed up to try the platform, mostly on the free tier, with a small percentage upgrading to Pro.
- The platform has generated over $5,000 USD since launching - it currently serves as passive income.
- Building Sendpreview taught me how to take a software product from concept through design, build and launch.
