Client portal development for customers who should not have to email you.

We build secure, branded client portals and customer portals: login, dashboards, documents, requests, messages, orders, and invoices. The portal is part of delivery — not a brochure with a password.

When generic software stops fitting.

Status lives in inboxes

Clients ask where things are because there is no shared place that is current.

Files are scattered

The latest document is in a thread, a drive, or someone's desktop. Nobody is sure.

Several people, one account

Professional services and B2B accounts need roles. A single shared password is not a permission model.

The CRM does not face the client

Your team has a system of record. The customer still cannot see the slice they are allowed to see.

Capability

Built around the workflow, not a template.

Approach

How we approach the work.

01

Jobs, not a synonym

Client portal and customer portal are often the same product with different users. We specify who logs in and what they can do.

02

Security as a default

Authentication, roles, and audit logs are part of the build when the portal holds commercial or personal data.

03

Same record as the CRM

A portal that diverges from internal systems becomes another support queue. We connect it.

Project pricing

From pricing. Final cost depends on scope.

Every build is scoped against your workflow and integrations. The ranges below are starting anchors so you can see the commercial scale of the work — not a promise that every project costs the same.

Questions

What is the difference between a client portal and a customer portal?
In conversation, client portals often serve professional or B2B relationships; customer portals often serve shoppers or account holders. We build both. The brief should list jobs, not debate the label.
How much does client portal development cost?
Starter portals start from $4,000–$5,000, business portals from $7,500, and advanced portals from $15,000 when payments, CRM write-back, and custom workflows are in scope.
Can the portal sit next to ecommerce?
Yes. Trade accounts often need orders and invoices in a portal while the catalogue lives in a custom ecommerce platform. Those products should share accounts.
