Why Smart Designer X4

Upgrading

Smart Designer X4: clip art browser

Software companies like Corel or Microsoft spend millions of dollars improving their software and producing innovative new features that help their customers to be more productive. When you buy a software program, you always have the option of staying within your comfort level and not upgrading. The loss of productivity and inefficiencies associated with using older technology is typically much more expensive than upgrading to a new version. A wise business owner will buy an upgraded version because they want to improve their workflow, reduce the time spent in the software, and increase productivity.

Why is Smart Designer X4 such a big deal?

Smart Designer X4 integrates seamlessly with CorelDRAW X4 by taking advantage of its new docker technology. This means that the software requires fewer system resources, increased stability and faster performance. This new technology has enabled us to create new features and capabilities that were never possible in earlier versions. As a result, every feature in Smart Designer X4 has been re-engineered for increased performance or additional capabilities. Also, numerous features have been added and existing features have been greatly improved.

Testimonials

"Smart Designs was the best investment we have made yet as far as software touse for designing artwork. My wife and I have both worked with computer graphic programs for years, and the Smart Templates which come with the Smart Designs package are simple to use for almost any job (Including the Pad Printer for custom graphics). You simply browse through the templates for something similar to what your customer needs, then alter it to fit their purposes with just a few mouse clicks. It is also great for printing out several QUICK ideas in color to show your customers. And, as such, makes it a great sales tool as well. Nothing impresses customers better than seeing a proof before they buy. Trust me, it's worth the money! Hope this helps."

"We feel a great deal of our success it due to your products. With Smart Designer, we are able to do all of our artwork in-house. Clients go crazy when they see designs that I have come up with for them. They think I’m an artist when I’ve really only made a few simple changes here and there to one of your templates! Our clients are always amazed at how quickly we can get their ideas on paper for them to use. I almost embarrassed to take all of the credit (but I usually do). I’d also like to thank your staff for the help they’ve given me on the few times I haven’t been able to figure something out. They’ve always been quick and courteous over the phone."
