A friendlier signup and a real look-around

We reworked the very first few minutes in BidCraft — signup, your first landing on the dashboard, and the guided tour — so you know where everything lives before you dig in.

Signup, tidied up

A few small changes to the signup slideshow:

• The account details now flow in a natural order — your name, email, phone, then business name.
• A new question: "What would help you the most?" Pick your top 3 (win more bids, faster proposals, accurate pricing, look more professional, and so on). Biddy uses it to greet you by what matters most to you.
• More trades to pick from — plumbing, electrical, countertops, drywall, painting, and general remodeling now join the tile and bath options.
• The past-proposals question is gone from signup — you'll still get to upload past proposals later, from the Power up your catalog mission, with no pressure either way.

Your first XP

The last signup slide gives you your first XP — signing up levels you up to Level 2 in the Guild, with a little bar animation to celebrate. From there, your three getting-started missions carry you forward.

The dashboard opens on your projects

Your dashboard now opens on the Projects tab — cleaner on a fresh account, and your Missions checklist is one tap away up top. Whatever tab you leave it on is remembered for next time.

A tour that actually walks you around

The guided tour is longer and more useful. Instead of naming a few things and wrapping up, Biddy now:

• Lights up your whole dashboard (without dimming the rest of the screen) while pointing out the pieces.
• Opens the Catalog and Office menus and names each item — including Stripe payments so you know how to get paid the moment a client signs.
• Actually takes you to Tasks, Projects, and Community for a second each.
• Finishes by asking you to tap the Missions tab yourself, then lands you right on your three missions.

And the Biddy pill in the corner gives off a soft glow on a brand-new account until you open it once.
