What Is Design Hub? 

Design Hub is your own dedicated hub, where your products take center stage without competing listings from other manufacturers. Unlike a CADdetails profile, which features multiple brands, Design Hub highlights your product line, providing a direct-to-specifier experience that you can easily promote through your own marketing channels.

  • Turnkey AEC solution – Avoid the high costs and long development hours of building your own portal. Our team creates, manages, and updates your AEC-focused product hub, ensuring your content and files are always current.
  • No competitor distractions – Your products stand alone in a dedicated portal, ensuring 100% of the attention stays on your brand.
  • Seamless brand integration – A fully custom-branded experience that aligns with your website, marketing, and sales strategy for a cohesive buyer journey.
  • Deeper engagement insights – Gain access to comprehensive proprietary data on how AEC professionals interact with your products, helping you track trends and identify high-potential leads.

Learn more about Design Hub data here.

Your CADdetails Analytics dashboard pulls data from your profile on CADdetails.com, where AEC professionals can find your products by searching for your company or related keywords. You’ll be able to track impressions, views, and downloads, and see which listings and design firms are engaging most with your content.

Design Hub data provides similar metrics, like views and downloads, but with even deeper insight. It provides contact-level insights on top of firm-level data, allowing you to connect directly with the AEC professionals engaging with your content.
