SIGN IN

Their own account, not a menu

A returning customer signs in and lands on what belongs to them.

WHO IT’S FOR

When people need a clearer way in.

  • Clients ask for the same updates by email or phone.
  • Documents get sent back and forth as attachments.
  • Requests arrive through several different channels.
  • People need to submit information and follow progress.

HOW IT GOES

How a portal project goes.

  1. Understand

    We look at how requests, documents, and updates reach people today.

  2. Scope

    Agree which people, tasks, and information the first version covers.

  3. Design the flow

    Map the screens and steps people move through, and review them before build.

  4. Build

    Develop the portal in stages you can review as it takes shape.

  5. Hand over

    Test the agreed key paths and explain what your team manages day to day.

QUESTIONS

Portal questions.

Can a portal replace requests by email?

For the parts of the process people repeat, often yes. We look at how requests arrive today and agree which ones belong in the portal.

Can people sign in with accounts we already use?

Sign-in options depend on the systems you use and the access available. We check this during scoping rather than assuming a connection is possible.

Will a portal work on phones?

Yes. Layouts are built to work on phones and desktops, since many people will use it away from a desk.

Who can see what people submit?

Access rules are agreed during scoping and built into the portal, so people see the information their role needs.
