Fixed-price client portals your customers actually use

Agencies and B2B vendors need a branded place where clients log in, upload files, see project status, and pay invoices—not a shared Google Drive folder and email thread. Lab Twelve scopes client portals as business apps: customer auth, role separation, uploads, notifications, and deploy. We dogfood the pattern on our own customer portal. Scope lock keeps 'just one more screen' from becoming an open retainer.

FAQ

Questions for this build type

How is this different from a CRM?

Portals are narrow: your clients see only their project. CRMs are ops tools. We scope the minimum job-to-be-done.

Can clients pay through the portal?

Stripe Checkout or invoicing links can be scoped. Stripe wiring is often an add-on.

Do you build the portal Lab Twelve uses?

Same stack and patterns—we scope yours the same way we scope ours.
