Helping Clients Feel Confident, Not Confused: How the SCELTA Portal Transformed Gianna DeLuca’s Design Process

Gianna DeLuca, Interior Designer at Frontline builders, gives a testimonial about SCELTA Portal.

Interior designer Gianna DeLuca spends her days helping clients bring their vision to life, and that means more than picking tiles. It means managing details, calming fears, and making sure clients feel confident in every decision.

But for a long time, that confidence came at a cost: hours of manual presentations, endless email chains, and confusion that made clients feel like they were the problem.

Thanks to the SCELTA, all that has changed.

What the SCELTA Portal Helps Clients Become

“The SCELTA Portal allows my clients to become more involved in the project due to effective communication.”

Before the Portal, clients would get overwhelmed. Updates came in the form of text messages. Drawings and finishes were buried in long email threads. Details got missed. Approvals got lost. And delays became normal.

Gianna recalls one client saying, “I feel like I’m so problematic.” Not because she was, but because the process made her feel that way.

With SCELTA Portal, that client story flipped.

Now, updates, drawings, finish selections, and feedback all live in one place. Clients can review and respond at their own pace. When something doesn’t look right, they comment directly on the update, and everyone on the project sees it in real-time.

“They feel more comfortable speaking up. They don’t feel like they’re causing delays or being a problem. They feel involved.”

The result is better outcomes, happier clients, and smoother projects.

Construction Project Communication Software That Actually Saves Time

As a designer, Gianna was spending up to three days creating polished presentations with images, links, and layouts, just to send clients what they’d already seen in person.

“I was wasting time formatting slides when I could be working on floor plans and solving problems,” she said.

Client Selections and finishes are organized by room and can be viewed by your Portal team and clients.

That’s where SCELTA Portal’s Selections feature changed everything. Instead of building presentations from scratch, Gianna now uploads room-by-room finishes directly into the platform, complete with quantities, photos, and notes. The builder sees it. The client sees it. Everyone’s aligned.

“It’s so much quicker. And it looks clean. I don’t have to overthink the presentation side of it.”

This kind of construction project communication software frees up Gianna’s time for high-value work like anticipating problems before they hit the job site, revising plans to match evolving client needs, and keeping everyone on track.

SCELTA Portal Helps Designers Work Smarter, and Clients Feel Empowered

“The SCELTA Portal helps me be more proficient in my tasks because I can use my time more effectively across the board.”

From managing chaos to creating clarity, SCELTA Portal has become a key part of how Gianna keeps her projects moving forward and her clients feeling empowered, not overwhelmed.

“Design is always a process. But SCELTA Portal removes the friction. It helps me give clients what they really want: to feel heard, informed, and proud of what we’re building.”
