Designer Pages is a user-generated application for sourcing products and collaborating on design. Product suppliers can post and update listings; buyers can request additional information; and designers may save products to their accounts to assemble a self-maintained online materials library. Virtual forums allow for product discussion as well as offer a place for collaborators to come together. “There are too many products for a designer to catalog, and too many firms for a supplier to reach,” explains Jacob Slevin, co-founder of Designer Pages. “Our social application facilitates the free exchange of information to benefit the entire community.” And it offers an opportunity to eliminate the need for bulky product catalogs.
