What Affichr adds
Review before commitment
Clients submit project context first. The artist decides whether, when, and how to confirm.
Calendar control
Curated slots, cancellation fills, and import keep the agenda manageable without turning it into an open slot picker.
Project continuity
References, deposits, consultation links, consent PDFs, designs, and reminders stay in one client journey.
