Two ways your clients could lay out a closet
This is a quick hands-on sample using one wall only — the Primary W.I.C. south wall, about 10 ft. Try both versions below. Tap a tile to add it, drag to move it, and watch the summary change.
Where would the link take them?
To a web page exactly like this one — hosted on the web, not inside an app and not on a blueprint site.
You would get one shareable link per house (for example, a 4511 Escalon Closet Planner link). You text or email that link to the client. They tap it on their phone or computer, the planner opens in their browser, they drag their choices, and they hit Submit. No download, no account, no login.
When they submit, you get a clean summary back — per closet, per wall, per section — instead of a marked-up PDF you have to interpret.
Drag anywhere, any size
The wall starts blank. Clients drag tiles in, slide them left and right, and make them wider or narrower. It feels the most free — and that freedom is also the risk.
What you would receive
Try making everything wide — this version will happily let a client ask for 13 ft of closet on a 10 ft wall.
Good
- Feels exactly like “drag and drop how I want it”
- Clients get it instantly, no instructions needed
Watch out
- Clients can design sizes you cannot build
- Harder to price and hand to an installer cleanly
Drag into buildable bays
Same drag-and-drop feel, but the wall is pre-split into real sections — 36 in, 24 in, 36 in, 24 in. A tile snaps in and fills its bay. Every result is buildable.
What you would receive
Nothing can overflow and nothing can be an odd size, because the bays were set by you before the client ever sees it.
Good
- Still drag and drop, still simple for the client
- Every layout is buildable, priceable, and clear for the installer
- Summary reads bay by bay, no guessing
Watch out
- Slightly less freeform — clients choose within your sections
Side by side
Option 1 — Freeform
Best if you want the client to feel total freedom and you are happy to translate their layout into real sizes afterward.
- Any tile, any width, any order
- Can overfill the wall
- Summary is a left-to-right list
Option 2 — Fixed bays
Best if you want the answer back ready to build. You set the bay sizes once per closet, from the real wall lengths on the plan.
- One tile per bay, snap-in
- Cannot overfill the wall
- Summary is bay by bay with sizes
My recommendation stays Option 2
Clients will not feel restricted — picking Double Hang vs. Single vs. Shelves for each section is the actual decision they care about. The bay sizes are your call behind the scenes. Once you approve the tile list and bay sizes on this one wall, the same system rolls out to Bedroom #2 W.I.C. and the Bedroom #3 and #4 reach-ins, each with its own real wall lengths.
