Projects are where you put your own photos. By putting your photos in projects, you also allow your photos to be added to other user's ideabooks. That would be where your plates would be seen by Houzz users.

IYou can add photos that you've put in your projects into ideabooks (you can also add photos from other professionals into your ideabooks) and tell a story. You might want to use the same photo in different ideabooks, such as an ideabook about blue decor with blue plates and another ideabook about traditional plates.
