Brand templates your clients can edit without breaking the brand
Lock the logo, the layout and the colours, leave the name and phone number editable. Layer locks ship in the plugin; templates for one client only are custom work.
Direction for Cmsmart B2B Ecommerce: a UX prototype with fictional data.
In short
What Private Templates does for your B2B clients
A brand template lets staff at a client personalise a business card or banner while the brand stays fixed. In Cmsmart you create templates in the designer, assign them to products and lock each layer's movement, rotation and scaling, or force-lock it. Client-only template libraries are built as custom work.

Business cards, signage and stationery for multi-branch brands
The problem
Every free edit is a brand risk
Give a client's staff a blank editor and you get stretched logos, wrong colours and reprints. Give them nothing and every card goes through your studio.
Logos get moved, resized or recoloured
Each branch invents its own layout
Your studio spends hours on name changes
Reprints eat the margin on corporate accounts

Custom development is a strength, not a gap: most B2B portals we deliver combine the plugin with features built for one business. UX prototype with fictional data. It shows the direction of Cmsmart B2B Ecommerce, which is in development; it is not a shipping feature.

Excellent service for the right price!
- Fast support by chat / video!
Happy to work with people like Chuong, always ready to fix all needs.
Hope to work for many years with them.
The website is very well made. However, I would like to point out the quick response of the staff, especially Ms. Andrea, who solved all our problems very quickly and kindly. Thanks.
NBDesigner is a very robust plugin for printing shops. It may take a bit of time to learn, as I am, but the support team is there to help. I've been in printing 30 years and I am impressed with how the developers have thought this plugin through. It has everything.
Each module says what ships in the plugin, what is in early access and what we build. Together they make a B2B portal on WooCommerce. See the B2B overview.
Straight answers about Private Templates, checked against the plugin.
How do I stop customers moving the logo?
In template mode, lock the logo layer's movement, rotation and scaling, or force-lock it. Customers can then edit only the layers you leave open.
Can staff edit only name and title?
Yes. Lock the logo and layout layers and leave the name and title text layers editable.
Can each client have its own templates?
Not out of the box: published templates are shown to every customer of the product. Client-only template libraries are built as custom development and are part of the Cmsmart B2B Ecommerce package.
Can templates auto-fill employee details?
Not out of the box. Filling templates from a staff list or CSV is built as custom development.
Do locked templates still produce print-ready files?
Yes. A personalised template is exported as a print file with the order, like any other design.
