A 15-second tour of DBD Project Portals
Clients, projects, files, messages and billing — how the whole studio runs inside one private portal.
Features
Everything your studio needs, nothing your clients don't.
DBD-PP replaces the patchwork of email, Drive folders, Calendly and Doodle with one calm, branded space your clients actually want to use.
Project management
Track every project through Planning, In Progress, Client Review, Revisions, Approved and Completed. Set deadlines, monitor progress and auto-archive finished work.
Secure file sharing
Private storage with signed URLs, version history and deliverable labels. Clients leave feedback notes right on each file after every upload.
Realtime messaging
Client-to-admin and project-specific conversations with unread tracking and email or SMS notifications. Nothing gets lost in an inbox again.
Shared calendars
Each client gets a calendar of deadlines, meetings and milestones. Admins see a master calendar across every project and every studio.
Subscriptions & billing
Offer Basic, Professional and Business plans. Clients request changes; you approve. Built-in payments handle checkout, tax and renewals.
Branded, personal portals
Each client customizes accent colors, tab order and sidebar style. Admins set defaults and push a look across an entire client roster.
How it works
From invite to delivered, in three steps.
Create your studio
Sign up, name your studio and you're the administrator. Invite clients by email — they get a one-time link to set a password and are linked automatically.
Organize projects & clients
Open a workspace per client. Add projects, upload files, set deadlines and message your client — all in one branded place they keep coming back to.
Collaborate to completion
Clients review work, leave notes, request changes and approve. Completed projects auto-archive to a dedicated area, organized by client.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Who is DBD Project Portals for?
Design studios, freelance designers and creative agencies that want a calm, branded home for client work instead of juggling email, Drive and spreadsheets. It scales from a solo studio to a multi-studio agency.
Do my clients need an account?
Yes — but it's frictionless. You invite them by email and they get a one-time link to set a password. They're linked to your studio and assigned the Client role automatically.
Can clients upload files and request changes?
Absolutely. Clients can submit new project requests with uploads, leave notes on files, message you and request subscription plan changes — all within their portal.
How does billing work for my studio?
Your studio subscribes for $30/month after a 14-day free trial, with built-in payments handling checkout, tax and renewals. You can offer your own client subscription plans (Basic, Professional, Business) on top.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. Row-level security isolates every client and studio, files live in private storage with signed URLs, and admin actions are verified server-side. Each studio only ever sees its own data.
