A Beginner's Guide to Navigating Wethos

We’re here to help you navigate your Wethos account with confidence. We understand that starting on a new platform can be overwhelming, but fear not! We've broken down each section of your account, providing a summary of what you can expect and accomplish to help you understand where to go within the platform. From setting up your business branding to managing projects, invoices, and more, we've got you covered!

In the top left-hand corner, you’ll find an item called “My Business.”

My Business branding

Here, you have the opportunity to add your Business Name and Logo, giving your business a unique identity. If you're a Wethos Pro⚡user, you'll have the ability to choose a brand color and font for your client documents that aligns with your business. These branding selections will be applied to your invoices and proposals, ensuring a cohesive and professional look representing your brand with every client interaction.

Next, you’ll see your Dashboard - your home for your business. Any time you log back in, you'll land on your Dashboard. Your Dashboard provides a high-level view of your business to help you keep your pipelines organized and get a quick overview of important metrics, updates, and notifications. It’s there to help you manage your workflow and give you a glance at relevant information without you needing to dive into each tab of the platform.

Getting Started Checklist

We’ve made getting started with Wethos easier by adding a "Getting Started" checklist on your Dashboard. This checklist is here to guide you through the initial setup and introduce you to the platform’s key features.

You can complete each task directly from the Dashboard, making the setup process smooth and straightforward. As you tick off each task, your progress bar will automatically update, helping you keep track of what’s done and what’s next.

Need to pause? No problem—the checklist can be minimized and returned to whenever you’re ready.

Wethos Pro ⚡ Checklist

Once you’ve completed the Starter Checklist, after upgrading, you’ll be introduced to the Wethos Pro ⚡ Checklist. This additional checklist is designed to help you explore the advanced features available with your Pro account and guide you through unlocking them.

The checklist will guide you through these advanced Pro features step-by-step. Once you complete a task, it will be checked off, and your progress bar will update. Once all tasks are completed, the checklist will disappear from the dashboard, confirming that your Wethos Pro account is fully set up.

Visit our Your Business Dashboard article for a deeper dive into how to get the most out of your Dashboard.

Navigate to the Project tab to locate your home for everything related to your Projects including the proposals, invoices, and full project details. In the Projects section, you can manage and create new projects, with each project allowing you to create a proposal that includes your project goals, your detailed scope of work, and the addition of contract terms, all within one document. The project data tables provide deeper insights into your project timelines and overall business performance.

You can send your proposals to clients for signature directly from the platform, knowing that your proposal will look professional and personalized with your Business’ branding.

On the Invoices page, you can easily create and send unlimited invoices with just a few clicks, ensuring you get paid faster.

From this tab, you can keep track of each invoice's status, due date, client, and the associated project so that you can always have a high-level overview of your invoices at a glance. Track your work, performance, and earnings through your invoice data analysis. When an invoice is paid, simply record the payment and you will see all data instantly updated.

If the invoice you are creating is associated with a project, you can also keep track of your invoice status and payment status by going to the invoice tab within your project.

The Clients page allows you to manage your clients and contractor network. Here, you can keep all client information, like size, contact information, notes, and more, all in one centralized place.
