Introduction

Short Blurb

Catalyst serves to facilitate the process of commissioning through a simple, unified, and mobile-friendly way for artists to easily list their prices, recieve and track commissions, and much more.

What Sets us Apart

We are aware that there are many current and planned competitors to us. However, we plan to provide an excellent service in a way no one else does with some of the following features:

• Easy to search system
• Responsive, mobile-friendly interface
• Messages on various events such as opening of commissions
• Message delivery to E-Mail
• No social media aspect - this allows for us to focus on what matters and cut the crap
• Easy integration with other social networks
• Character management
• No fees
• And much more!

Additional Features

See our Trello for a general idea! However, we now use Conveyor for real management so the Trello may be inconsistent, inaccurate, or otherwise outdated.
