Project Management for Designers

Frequently asked questions

What is Allworkedup?

Allworkedup is a project management application for designers. It's born out of necessity, in that we couldn't find anything out there that manages client feedback, presents designs and provides the required functionality in a way that's intuitive and follows the conventions of the design process that are required to deliver successful projects.

The free account is a lifetime subscription to the service, limited to the management of one live project (you can delete this and replace it at any time) with a storage capacity of 25MB.

How does your refund policy work?

Allworkedup is a monthly, pay as you go service so refunds are not applicable. You are charged every 30 days and can cancel the service at any time.

If deemed appropriate we can provide complimentary subscription time as compensation for any issues that may arise.

I've uploaded a design. Where has it gone?

Successfully uploaded designs are displayed as thumbnails at the top of the relevant project page and are also accessible from the right hand 'Design history' box.

I uploaded a design earlier, now it wont let me. Why not?

There could a be a number of reasons for this. The first is that the project owner has no more storage space left on their account so this limit would be exceeded were your file to be uploaded. The second could be that you don't now have permission to upload a file to the specific project becasue the project manager or project owner has removed you as a designer.

Can I edit a design once it's uploaded?

Yes - you can edit the design as many times as required (storage space permitting). Once a new design has been updated a new version will be recorded and the old version (including all files) will be archived for reference.

Is there a maximum file size for uploaded designs?

At the moment the upload limit is 10MB, however we are looking at ways to improve this. It's unlikely however that any of your designs will exceed this.

Absolutely. Versioning is a huge part of our service. Whenever the main creative changes a new version is recorded and the old version is archived for reference. Old versions are accessible from the 'Design history' box within projects and from the design viewer.
