What Filestage changed

• Added a new section titled "Compliance is covered" and "Your final checkpoint before anything goes live."
• Introduced the "Trust Layer" feature which creates a centralized System of Evidence for assets.
• Added messaging about traceable and defensible audit trails for review decisions.
• Expanded the FAQ section to further differentiate online proofing from general project management tools.

Filestage is moving upmarket to target enterprise and highly regulated industries. By adding a "System of Evidence" and audit trails, they are positioning themselves as a security and compliance tool, not just a creative feedback tool.

• The starting price for paid plans decreased from $199/month to $99/month in the FAQ section.
• The free trial duration was shortened from 30 days to 14 days.
• Added several new customer testimonials from brands like Kärcher, Sartorius, and Sixt.
• Reorganized the homepage to focus on specific user roles (Project Managers, Creatives, and Stakeholders).
• Removed the detailed "Powered by AI" section that highlighted specific features like automated error detection and brand guideline checks.

Filestage is significantly lowering its price floor, likely to attract smaller teams or agencies that previously found the $199 entry point too expensive.

• Removed the LinkedIn company profile link from the footer.
• Removed the Instagram profile link from the footer.
• Removed the YouTube channel link from the footer.
• Removed "Skip to main content" and accessibility menu shortcuts from the top of the page.

The removal of LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube links from the footer may indicate a shift in how the company manages its social community or a desire to keep visitors on the website longer.
