Approve or send back
Every post waits on its own card. One tap approves it. A comment sends it back with the note attached to that post, not buried in an inbox.
Client portal · Built by Noah Watson
A client portal where your clients approve the work, instead of an email thread.
I built this for my own clients first. A psychiatry practice uses it every day to approve its posts, comment on drafts and see how its accounts are growing. I build the same thing for businesses that need their clients to sign off on work and want a record of who approved what.
The problem
Approvals are where client work stalls.
The work is usually done on time. Then it sits, waiting on a client who is busy, with the feedback scattered across every channel they use.
- Drafts go out by email and come back as "looks good" with no record of which version.
- Feedback arrives in a text message, a voice note and a meeting, about three different files.
- Nobody can say what is going out next week without opening a spreadsheet.
- The client asks for a report and someone loses a morning building it.
What the client sees
One place for everything waiting on them.
A calendar of what is going out
What is scheduled, what already went out and what is still waiting, laid out by day.
The client's own numbers
Followers, reach and the posts that worked, pulled in automatically, in a page the client can read without a login to five different apps.
Ask it a question
The client can ask the portal things like "what is waiting on me" and get an answer from their own account, not a support ticket.
Send us material
Photos, notes and answers to our questions go in one place, and the client sees when we have read them.
Works on a phone
Built for the five minutes between appointments, because that is when approvals actually happen.
Questions
What people ask before they build one.
- What is a client approval portal?
- A private website where a client sees the work waiting for them, approves it or asks for changes, and leaves comments on the exact piece they mean. It replaces the email thread, the shared folder and the spreadsheet that usually do that job between them.
- Can I see one working before I commit?
- Yes. I walk you through a working portal on a call, the same build a psychiatry practice uses every day to approve its posts.
- Who can sign in, and what can they change?
- Each person gets one of three roles. An admin runs everything. A client approves and comments. A viewer can read every page and change nothing, which is how you show the portal to someone at the company without handing them the approve button. The rule is enforced by the database, not by hiding a button.
- Does it work with a regulated business?
- That is what it was built for. Every approval is recorded with who approved it and when, posts can be held for a compliance review, and nothing goes out without a person signing it off.
Free 3-point audit
Where are you leaving growth on the table?
Send me your site and socials. Within 24 hours I'll send back a personal 3-point teardown: the three highest-impact fixes, ranked, with exactly what to change and why. No pitch. No charge.
I’m taking on a small group of founding clients this quarter, which is why the audit’s free. Real eyes, real fixes, no catch.
