Client Portals for NZ Businesses

Email is unstructured and creates a mess over time — documents get buried, version control becomes a nightmare, and clients can never find what they need. A client portal is an organised, permanent space where everything related to a client lives: contracts, invoices, project updates, communications, and deliverables. The client logs in and sees only their information. You control what they see and when. It's professional, secure, and saves both sides hours per week.

Yes. Every portal we build uses authenticated login (email + password or single sign-on), and clients can only see their own data. Documents are stored with encryption at rest. We can implement additional security for highly sensitive industries (law, accounting, healthcare) including two-factor authentication, session timeouts, and access logging. We'll discuss your specific requirements and build accordingly.

Yes. We integrate Stripe or a compatible payment gateway so clients can pay invoices directly in the portal. This removes the friction of bank transfers and chasing payments — most businesses that add in-portal payments see their average payment time drop from 14+ days to 2–3 days.

A straightforward client portal built on a platform like Softr or SuperPortal typically costs $1,500–$3,000. A custom-built portal with complex logic, multiple user types, API integrations, and bespoke functionality runs $4,000–$12,000+. The right approach depends on how many clients you have, how complex your workflows are, and what existing tools you need to connect. We'll scope it properly before quoting.

Yes — we design portals with non-technical users in mind. The interface is clean and simple, and clients get a welcome email with login instructions. We can also run a short walkthrough session for your team and your clients if helpful. Most clients are comfortable using the portal within their first login.
