Client Portal Setup gives customers one secure place to find the files, forms, invoices, messages, appointments and updates connected to their work. The standard route configures an established portal platform instead of funding a custom application from the beginning.

How this gets fixed

A private online area for each client

A client portal is a login-protected area where a customer can see and complete the work shared with them. Platforms to evaluate can include HoneyBook, Dubsado, SuiteDash, Copilot and client-portal features in a CRM or project system.

The customer owns the account and normally pays the platform subscription directly. Branding, permissions, structure, one complete workflow, testing and handover are included in the approved setup.

What a client portal means

  • A client portal is a private online area where each customer signs in to see information related to their work
  • The standard route uses an established portal platform rather than funding a custom application

FAQ

Questions about this service

Which portal platform is best?

It depends on whether the priority is projects, forms, files, invoices, appointments or CRM history. The workflow is mapped before a platform is recommended.

What are the three build routes?

An established platform is fastest and least expensive. A hybrid route customizes an existing platform. Fully custom code offers the most control and carries the highest build and maintenance cost.

Who pays the monthly cost?

The customer normally owns and pays the software subscription directly. Any maintenance retainer is separate and optional.

Can it connect to our CRM, booking or payments?

Supported connections can be added after the portal workflow and data responsibilities are defined.
