Make Dock Builder your own.

6 min readVideo coming soon

Dock Builder runs as your software, not ours. Set your identity once and it rides along everywhere a customer looks — your logo and colors, branded quotes and permit PDFs, your own web address that turns visitors into quote leads, and a builder we set up around the products, processes, and language your shop actually works with.

Your software, your name

“White-label” means the tool wears your brand instead of ours. You configure it once in your workspace settings, and that identity flows out everywhere it counts — the quote you email, the permit PDF you submit, the link you send a customer, the address they visit, and the builder your crew works in every day. There’s nothing to keep in sync and nothing that says “Dock Builder” to the people you’re selling to.

Video — coming soon

Setting branding in the workspace and watching it land on a quote, a PDF, and a share link.

Your logo & colors

Workspace → Branding: company name field, a wide logo upload and a square icon upload (each with a live preview), a footer-text field, and primary + accent color pickers.

Workspace → Branding — set it onceSHOT WL-01

Open Workspace → Branding and fill in the basics that make the software yours:

  • Company name — how your business reads on everything you hand a customer.
  • Logo (wide wordmark) and icon (square mark) — PNG, JPEG, or WebP, up to 2 MB each, with a live preview.
  • Brand colors — a primary and an accent that tint your customer-facing surfaces.
  • Footer text — the line that sits at the bottom of your exported documents.

Logos save the moment you upload them; the rest land when you hit Save. Change your branding whenever you want — it applies going forward.

Quotes & PDFs in your name

Everything you put in front of a customer carries your identity. Your logo, colors, company details, and footer ride onto the quote you send, the permit-ready PDF exhibits you submit, and the share link a customer opens — no app chrome, no sign-in, just your brand.

One identity, on every customer-facing documentSHOT WL-02
Old quotes keep their look
A quote snapshots your branding at the moment it’s created, so updating your logo or colors later never rewrites a document a customer has already seen.
03

Your own web address

Your workspace can live at its own address — add it under Workspace → Domains. Start on a branded subdomain like acme.dockbuilder.app, then bring your own domain — dock.acmedocks.com — when you’re ready.

The sign-in page, the app, and every share link all wear your brand at that address, so a customer never lands on someone else’s software. Each address is served securely over HTTPS automatically — there’s no certificate to manage.

Leads from your branded site

The public builder's Request-a-quote modal: name, email, and optional phone and note fields, above a price-free summary of the dock the visitor drew, with a 'Request my quote' button.

A visitor asks for a quote — the lead comes to youSHOT WL-04

Your branded site isn’t just a brochure — it’s a lead funnel. A homeowner can land on it, lay out the dock they want, and hit Quote. They leave their name and email (phone and a note are optional), and the request comes straight to you.

Every quote request brings you:

  • Their contact details — name, email, and phone if they shared it.
  • The dock they drew — a clean, itemized summary (sections, deck area, framing, decking, floats, pilings, accessories) so you know exactly what they’re asking for.
  • No price in their hands — the customer never sees a number, so pricing stays yours to set when you follow up.
Your funnel, not ours
The visitor never sees “Dock Builder.” They request a quote from your brand, at your address — so the lead is yours, and yours to win.

Your builder, your way

Branding isn’t only skin-deep. The builder is built around how your shop actually works — and because the products and the process differ from one builder to the next, that’s something we set up with you. We learn your catalog and your workflow, then shape the tools, the wording, and the dock types together, so your crew works in their own product instead of generic software.

The builder configured for a specific shop: a curated tool rail, panel labels using the shop's own vocabulary (for example Sections instead of Layers), and an Add-dock menu listing only the dock types that shop builds.

  • Tools — the rail carries the tools your crew needs and keeps the rest out of the way.
  • Wording — on-screen labels in your words (for example “Sections” instead of “Layers”).
  • Products & process — your catalog, the docks you build, and the way you estimate, set up with you since no two builders work the same way.
A setup we do together
Tell us how you build — your products, your process, the docks you sell — and we configure the experience with you. It’s a partnership, not a preference toggle, because no two builders work exactly alike.
Key takeaways
  • Set your identity once in Workspace → Branding — company name, logo, icon, colors, and footer.
  • Your branding flows onto every quote, permit PDF, and share link automatically.
  • Quotes snapshot their branding, so updating it later never changes a document already sent.
  • Run on a branded subdomain or your own domain, served securely with nothing to manage.
  • Visitors request a quote from your branded site and it comes to you as a lead — their details plus the dock they drew, with no prices shown to them.
  • The builder is set up with you — its tools, wording, products, and dock types tuned to how your shop works.
