E-mail will always be a helpful communication tool, but it does very little when it comes to teamwork and keeping projects organized. Too many emails from many different clients with long threads can become cluttered and confusing quickly.
We created GatherKit because we know that teams can work better with better tools. GatherKit was built to manage content with multiple people involved to make website projects run smoothly along a clear process. Here’s why GatherKit is better than trying to manage a web development project through email alone:

A breakdown of the features
Easily collaborate on discussion threads
The email you have often get mixed up with any other correspondence from your colleague and all those newsletters you never actually subscribed to. Email chains can go on for pages and pages, quickly splintering off into multiple threads, leaving essential participants from the discussion.
In GatherKit, you can easily find comments on every page per project while the inbox remains stuck in a cycle of refresh and reply. Invite your team members and your clients into the process. Assign content and monitor due dates to keep the process moving.
Use version control to track important revisions
Anyone who has managed a website before knows the pain of getting another email with another attached document. GatherKit reduces that. With our version control, you can save significant changes, working towards the final content together. And when the content is fully approved, the page editor will lock so you can see if your client decides to go backwards in the process.
Keep your focus on actual work, not the endless emails you send
Email clutter is overwhelming, and it keeps you frustrated. GatherKit allows you to focus on the projects rather than dealing with back and forth to collect content from email, which will help you to be productive. Track who is responsible for what
Keep all assets and media centralized
No more photos and important documents floating in email attachments. Gather photos, logos, and documents without worrying about managing sharing permission or losing files. You can even link to your client’s external file-sharing service if they don’t want to download and re-upload their assets. Our goal is to keep everything you might need in one place, so you never have to dig again through your email search function.
Build a visual navigation menu
Because GatherKit is built for web projects, you can create custom navigation structures and even track approvals. As you plan your pages in the Navigation Builder, the pages are automatically created, ready for you to add content. This kind of feature doesn’t exist in the world of email platforms.
Keep track of URL redirects
As developers, we know web projects are more than just collecting content. This is impossible to collaborate through email, unless you make a list or send them a link to another spreadsheet. Thankfully, GatherKit already has a section, just for tracking old URLs and mapping them to the new ones.
