Client portal development — without an agency or waiting list
Give your clients their own secure environment: log in, view documents, track status. Turtleship builds it production-ready — you approve every step.
Sound familiar?
Everything happens over email
Documents, questions and updates scattered across inboxes. Clients call to ask where things stand.
The agency quote is steep
A custom portal from a development agency easily runs €15,000–€40,000 — and then maintenance starts.
Off-the-shelf almost fits
Standard tools force your process into their format, and you pay per seat for features you never use.
What you get
A complete, secure client portal shaped around your process — no template, no compromise.
Secure login
Individual client accounts with password reset and secure sessions.
Personal dashboard
Each client sees only their own data, status and recent activity.
Document sharing
Quotes, invoices or reports securely staged per client, downloadable any time.
Status updates & notifications
Clients see progress themselves and get notified on news. Less email, fewer calls.
Fully yours
Your branding, your domain, your data. No per-seat licences, no vendor lock-in.
How it works
A controlled process — you stay in charge at every step.
- 1
Describe what you need
In plain language. You start from the client-portal building block: login, dashboard and documents are already in place.
- 2
Turtleship builds and tests
The AI builds production-ready software, including tests and review. You see an estimate up front — no surprises.
- 3
You approve
Review the result in a test environment and approve — or request changes. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
- 4
Live — with a safety net
One click to production. If anything goes wrong, one click restores the previous version.
Your client data stays in Europe
A client portal processes personal data. With Turtleship, GDPR compliance is the starting point, not an afterthought.
- Hosting and data in Europe — not on US servers
- GDPR-ready by design: per-client data isolation and an audit trail
- You own the code and the data, permanently
What does a client portal cost?
From an agency: €15,000–€40,000 and months of lead time. With Turtleship you build the same portal on a subscription from €99 per month — with an up-front estimate per build step and no hourly rates.
Cancel monthly. You pay for scoped work, not for hours.
See pricingFrequently asked questions
- How fast will my client portal be ready?
- The foundation (login, dashboard, documents) ships as a building block and works within days. From there you extend it step by step — most portals are live within a few weeks.
- Isn't this just an AI prototype?
- No. Turtleship delivers production-ready software: tested, reviewed and only live after your approval. That is exactly the difference with prototype tools.
- Can the portal integrate with my existing systems?
- Yes. Turtleship builds in a regular codebase (no closed platform), so integrations with your accounting, CRM or planning tools can be built as a next step.
- What if I want changes after it's live?
- You submit a new request — in plain language — and go through the same steps: estimate up front, build, test, your approval, live. Continuous development is the model, not a change-order fight.
- Who owns the code?
- You do. The portal lives in its own repository that you can take with you at any time. No vendor lock-in.
