The portal from the demo video - live preview and free template
|
Hey Reader, After the recent demo video, quite a few people got in touch asking for a closer look at the portal I used as an example. So I've written it up properly, with a live version you can click around in and a template you can download and import straight into Client Portal. 👉 Take a look at the portal and download the template​ It's built around a web design project, so if that's the kind of work you do it should be pretty useful as a starting point. But even if it isn't, it's a decent example of how to structure phases, what you can do with the content pages, and how things look in a real portal rather than just a feature list. The live demo is worth a click. You can actually log in and poke around rather than just look at screenshots. One more thing: I'm planning to create more templates and I'd love to know what would actually be useful to you. What kind of projects or industries would you want to see? Just hit reply and let me know. -Laura |

We've added CSS isolation for non-block themes and page builders, so your portal should now display correctly regardless of what theme you're running. If this has been causing you grief,...
Hey Reader, For years, I used Client Portal to host Client Portal's own documentation. It worked well - showed off how flexible the product is, and honestly it looked good. But as the product grew and the documentation got more complex, I needed something built specifically for documentation. Search functionality, version tracking, that sort of thing. So I've moved everything over to a dedicated documentation platform (👋 FernDesk), and the difference is significant. 👉 Take me to the new docs!...
Hey Reader, I've been working on some improvements to Client Portal behind the scenes for a while now, and I wanted to share what's coming over the next few months. I'm so excited for this next release. Not because I'm adding loads of flashy features, but because I'm focusing on the details that make Client Portal a joy to use. Here's what that looks like in practice. Making file uploads less confusing This is a work-in-progress, but I wanted to share a preview because it's pretty exciting....
