getting started with sbo
Firstly we would like to welcome you to Sample Board Online™. You have now entered a whole new world with crazy experiences to be had…here’s a couple of tips to get started.
   
The TRY IT button should take you directly to the application where you can start playing and working. Please note though, that you will not be able to save your projects or upload your personal images if you have not registered with SBO.

create account

Registering is free & painless so after the once off registration you'll be able to create your own profile and save your sample boards to view and use later. What's really cool about this function, is that you can work on various different clients all saved under one roof & return to edit sample boards should you wish.

my profile
In your profile you will have all your saved sample boards with the technical specification for each individual board. You can create as many sample boards as you like.



my items
Your items will consist of your personal uploaded images from your pc, available only to you. Try keep the size to about 100KB an image as it may slow down your application if you start uploading larger images.

print to pdf
Once you've saved your work, you have the option to print to PDF or save as a JPEG. When printing to PDF you will notice that you get a complete technical specification for each product used within your sample board. This is handy when doing your FF&E schedule. Save it in your projects folder for later use.

technical specification
Each product image consists of the following properties:
• Name & code of product
• Brief description
• Price range
• Application – domestic / commercial
• Supplier contact name, phone number & email address

printing your complete sample boards
We wouldn't recommend printing any bigger than A4 as you might lose a lot of quality and the obvious point about this website is to GO GREEN ; so the less we start presenting via huge boards using foam, spray glue and large amounts of miss prints, we strongly advise going the green way and start presenting electronically. This way you not only help save the planet, but you can also amend presentations and save your work electronically.

the application
With the word 'application' we're referring to the actual space where you will be creating your own sample board. Your blank canvas.
