Let clients check status themselves—instead of emailing to ask

An agency updates clients on project status through scattered email threads, so clients constantly ask "where are we on this?" instead of just checking. Build a portal where status, files, and approvals live in one place both sides can see.

An email thread is not a status page

Every "where are we on this?" email is a sign the client has no better way to check. Answering it individually doesn't scale, and it means status only exists in whichever inbox happens to hold the latest reply.

Give clients a live view of milestones, files, and approvals, so status is something they check, not something they ask for.

From access to invoice
  1. 1. Client is given portal access to their project
  2. 2. Project milestones and tasks are visible with current status
  3. 3. Files and deliverables are shared through the portal
  4. 4. Client comments or approves deliverables directly
  5. 5. Invoices and payment status are visible to the client

Scenarios to test in your preview

  • A client must only see their own project, not other clients' work.
  • An approved deliverable must be locked from further edits without a new version being created.
  • A client comment on an outdated file version must not be attributed to the current version.
FAQ

Common questions about client project portals

Who is this for?

Agencies and consultants who want clients to have self-service visibility instead of relying on status update emails.

Does this handle formal deliverable approval?

Basic approval is included here. For multi-stakeholder or revision-tracked approval, see client approval portal.

Can this connect to our project management tool?

Start with project data owned directly in this app, and evaluate a sync once the client-facing workflow is proven.
