Understanding Designwal’s Private and Public Features


Welcome to Designwal! 

As we continue to enhance your experience on our platform, it’s essential to understand the distinction between our Private Features and Public Features. This differentiation is central to how we support and protect the needs of the interior design community. Here’s an in-depth look at what these features entail and why they are crucial for your engagement on Designwal.


Private Features

Overview:

Private Features are exclusive to paid members and are designed to ensure a secure and confidential environment for networking and collaboration within the design community. These features are not visible to the public and can only be accessed by individuals with an active paid membership.


Key Points:

  • General Feed: Accessible only to paid members, this feed includes updates and posts from other members within the community.

  • Groups: Participate in specialized groups and forums tailored to specific interests or professional needs. Group discussions and posts remain hidden from public view.

  • My Network: Connect with other members, view their profiles, and interact within a private space free from external influence.


Why It Matters: The privacy shield provided by our Private Features allows members to engage in meaningful discussions, share insights, and connect without the worry of public exposure. This level of confidentiality supports a more genuine and productive community experience, free from the distractions and risks associated with public social media platforms.


Instructions: To access Private Features, ensure you have an active paid membership. Once subscribed, navigate to the General Feed, Groups, and My Network sections to interact with other members in a protected environment.


Public Features

Overview: Public Features are available to all members and are designed to enhance visibility and promote professional growth. These features enable members to share their work, engage with a broader audience, and attract potential clients or collaborators.


Key Points:

  • Stories: Share brief updates and highlights that are visible to both members and non-members.

  • Articles: Publish and view articles related to design trends, tips, and insights. Articles can be accessed by the general public.

  • Featured Projects: Showcase your work to a wider audience, including potential clients and industry peers.

  • Job Postings: Advertise job openings and browse available positions. These postings are accessible to all users.

  • Designwal Code (Digital Business Card): Share your contact information effortlessly with a simple scan. This feature is visible to all users, making it easy for potential clients and partners to reach you.

  • Courses within the "Courses Marketplace": Offer and access educational content. Courses are available to all members for growth and skill development.

  • "Designwal Marketplace": Accessible only to upgraded Manufacturers and Resellers, businesses can post products and services to the Designwal Marketplace. The Marketplace is accessible to all Designwal Members, as well as the public.

  • Podcast Episodes & Channels: Listen to and share episodes from various podcasts, which are available to both members and the public.

  • Resume Pages: Share your resume with potential employers and network connections. Resume pages are visible when shared by the user.


 

Why It Matters: Public Features are designed to maximize your exposure and enhance your professional presence. By making your work, expertise, and opportunities visible to a wider audience, you can build your brand, attract new clients, and foster professional relationships. Unlike traditional social media platforms that mix private and public content, Designwal provides clear distinctions, allowing you to manage your visibility according to your preferences.


Instructions: To utilize Public Features, simply navigate to the relevant sections of the platform and use the tools available to share your content and connect with others. Whether posting a job, sharing a story, or publishing an article, these features are designed to highlight your contributions to the design community.


Why Designwal’s Approach Is Unique

Our approach to separating Private and Public Features ensures that you have control over your visibility and interactions. This structure sets Designwal apart from other social media platforms, which often lack the nuanced privacy and professional focus that our platform provides. By balancing private, secure interactions with public visibility, Designwal supports your professional growth while safeguarding your privacy.


Explore these features today and see how Designwal can enhance your networking and business opportunities in a way that’s tailored to the interior design community.
