Design Approval System

Design Approval System (or DAS) was specifically designed for programmers and graphic artists.

It helps them present their work to clients and get feedback on it.

The design approval process is versioned, so the designer and the client can go through various stages of a project, provide feedback and approve the project when reaching all goals.
