CLIENT PORTAL FOR WEB DESIGN AGENCIES · UPDATED OCTOBER 2026
Client Management Portal for Web Design Agencies, Without the Feedback Chaos
Clientish is a white-label client portal for web design agencies that puts website briefs, design feedback, approvals, care plans and invoices in one place, from $29 a month, alongside Figma, Google Drive and the tools you already use. Website projects rarely run late because of the design. They run late waiting for the client’s content, feedback and approval. Clientish collects the brief before you start, keeps every comment on the project, gets approvals on time and turns each launch into a monthly care plan.
Sound Familiar?
Four things website clients say that stall a project, and how the client portal answers each one before the launch date slips.
From Order to Care Plan
Every stage of a website project, from the content brief and design feedback to approval, launch and the monthly care plan that follows, in one client portal.

CONTENT & BRIEF
Get the Content Before You Start Designing
Late copy and missing logins are the main reason website projects run over. Attach a website brief to each package with the intake form: the pages they need, who writes the copy, logins and brand files. The order waits as Pending until the brief is complete, and you can see exactly how long you have been waiting.
FEEDBACK & APPROVAL
Get Sign-Off Without Chasing
A week of silence after you send a design adds a week to the launch. Deliver for approval and the client checks the work in their client portal, then approves it or asks for a revision. If they don’t answer, it is approved automatically after the days you choose.
SCOPE CREEP
Stop Scope Creep Before It Starts
Endless small changes eat the profit on a fixed-price website. Sell clear packages from your service catalog with the number of revisions included, offer Basic, Standard and Premium options, and turn extras like more pages or speed work into paid add-ons.
ONE PLACE FOR FEEDBACK
All the Feedback on the Project
Feedback spread across email, WhatsApp and Slack gets missed. Each website order has a client conversation where clients send notes and screenshots, and a separate team conversation they never see, so designers and developers talk without leaving the project. A Figma link shared in the conversation opens right there as the live design.
REPEATABLE PROCESS
Run Every Website the Same Way
Setting up kickoff, design, build and launch tasks by hand for every project means steps get missed. Save a task template on each package, and every new website order gets its tasks, due dates and owners automatically.
CARE PLANS
Turn Every Launch Into Monthly Revenue
Most website income stops at launch. Offer a Website Care Plan as a recurring service with recurring billing: the client is billed every month, gets an upcoming payment notice and receipts, and can see the subscription in their portal.

You want unlimited staff on the cheapest plan.
Proposals, contracts and a sales pipeline matter more to you than the portal, which starts on its Premium plan.

Web Design Agency FAQ
Straight answers on website content, design approval, Figma reviews, scope creep, care plans and your own domain.
What is a client portal for web design agencies?
The place a website client goes instead of your inbox. They send the brief, pages and logins there, review each design, approve the build and later pay the care plan. Clientish runs that portal under your brand, with packages, tasks and invoicing, from $29 a month.
Can clients review Figma designs in the portal?
Yes. Share the Figma link in the project conversation and it opens right there as the live design, so the client sees it without hunting for the file and replies in the same thread. The link needs Figma’s “anyone with the link can view” setting.
Will my website clients log in to the portal?
They do when the next step is theirs: a design to approve, content still missing from the brief or an invoice due. Each of those reaches them by email with a way back in, so the project does not stall in their inbox.
How do I get website content from clients on time?
Put a website brief on every package that asks for each page’s copy, images, domain and hosting logins up front. The project shows as waiting on the client until the brief is complete, so the missing About page is their delay on record, not yours.
How do I get clients to approve designs faster?
Send the homepage design, then the inner pages, as deliveries for approval. The client approves or asks for changes from the portal, and if a stage sits untouched for the days you set, it is approved so the build can move on.
How do I stop scope creep on website projects?
Sell fixed packages with a set number of revisions, and turn extras such as more pages into paid add-ons. Every revision is counted against the package.
Can clients send feedback with screenshots?
Yes. Clients send notes and files in the project’s conversation, and your team has its own private chat on the same project.
Can I sell website care plans?
Yes. Create a care plan as a recurring service, bill it monthly with a setup fee, and clients see the subscription in their portal.
Can I keep client logins safe?
Yes. Hosting, domain and CMS logins go into hidden fields on the website brief, and only your designers and developers can see them on the project.
Is the portal branded as my agency?
Yes, end to end. A client who opens projects.youragency.com meets your logo and colours on the sign-in, on every design delivery and on the care plan invoice. Starter and Growth keep a small Powered by Clientish line, which Pro and Enterprise remove.
Do I need a separate project management tool?
No. Tasks, due dates, owners and reminders live inside each website order, next to the brief, the feedback and the invoice.
