Texas has no state income tax. Every dollar you save on software stays in your pocket. The $1,077 annual savings from switching to Nexa is real money — not reduced by state taxes.
Whether you call it invoice management, a solution for jobs, or a invoicing system — most trade show designers in Amarillo cobble together HoneyBook, FreshBooks, Toggl Track, Harvest and similar apps. That's $1,356/year in SaaS payments. Over 5 years at today's prices, that stack costs $6,780.
Nexa means you stop renting software. Your CRM, invoice management, calendar tool, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — wrapped into one solution. One click books a client. One click generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No duct-tape integrations. No add-on costs. It's a lifetime license — cut costs starting today. For trade show designers in Amarillo weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
I start by pulling the hardware spec for whoever's exhibiting next — a 20-foot tension-fabric backwall prints to a completely different template than a retractable banner stand, and the SEG bleed has to wrap into the silicone edge or you get a white line on the seam. I lay out the graphics thinking in viewing distance: the headline has to land from across a 10-foot aisle, the product shot has to survive being half-blocked by a demo counter, and the logo has to read up on the hanging sign. Midday I'm cross-checking the venue's exhibitor manual — this convention center caps hanging-sign height and requires fire-rated fabric, and the rigging points aren't where the last show's were. I build a quick 3D mockup so the client can see the booth in space before we commit to print, because nobody can read a flat 20-foot file on a laptop. Afternoon is the deadline math: the printer needs files three days before the booth ships to make drayage, which means my client sign-off is really due tomorrow, not next week. I send a proof with the print-ship date in bold. Then a kickoff for a medical-device company's first show, and we talk traffic flow and what the booth has to make a passerby stop.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a trade show designer's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a trade show designer — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
