Great design deserves a better client experience

white label Client Portal ⭐

Look PRO from the get-go

First impressions matter. Invite clients to a branded portal that makes your business look as polished as the designs you create. With your logo, your colors, and under your domain, every interaction feels familiar.

TRUE self-service 🧩

Cut the middleman
— let clients take the wheel

No more “where are we at?” emails. Clients can check project status, review deliverables, and see what’s next — anytime, without asking. You design. They follow along.

Let clients browse your services, place requests, and kick off new projects on their own.

No briefing calls just to get started. Set the rules once — let clients do the rest.

design project management 📊

Your workflows — full clarity for everyone

Skip the spreadsheets and sticky notes. Organize requests into clear stages, assign work to the right person, and keep everything moving. With:

  • Kanban boards,
  • workflow automation,
  • customizable statuses & deadlines,

nothing slips through the cracks. Your clients stay in the loop over the clock.

Cut the noise & win more time
for CREATIVE work

Automate repetitive tasks

Let the boring stuff run itself. Set up your workflows once and let Zendo handle the rest. Eliminate the manual follow-ups, status updates, and invoice reminders that eat into your creative time.

Close deals while you sleep

Provide clients with a branded storefront they can access anytime. They browse, pick a service, and place an order — while you sleep, design, or simply live your life.

Keep all projects under one roof

Centralize everything that matters. Every user on your team gets a complete, real-time view of every project — requests, files, status updates, and payments — without hunting across a dozen different tools.

Let clients onboard themselves

Skip the kickoff call. Customizable onboarding forms provide a clear, structured path from first contact to first brief. No scheduling, no hand-holding, no delays.

Client portal for designers? In Zendo, that's the easy part!

 “Client management was the part of my business I dreaded most. Zendo flipped that completely — and at that pricing, it’s the best thing I’ve done for my studio this year.

All the tools you need for
Client Communication & Collaboration

Ditch the chaos with one clean, structured collaboration hub.

INTAKE FORMS 📝

Stop spending the first week of every project gathering basic information. Intake forms automate the onboarding process — clients fill in what you need, you get notified, and the work can start right away.

WORK & REQUEST MANAGEMENT 📝

Build custom workflows, assign team members and manage every client task from a single dashboard — with list, table, and kanban views that adapt to how your studio actually operates.

Chat that connects every dot 📝

No more scattered emails or comment chains buried in shared docs. Zendo’s real-time chat keeps clients and teammates connected in one feed — with file sharing, mentions, and status updates all visible where the project lives.

CLIENT ENGAGEMENT 📝

Keep every user perfectly informed without the manual follow-up. Zendo gives you the perfect option to configure notifications separately for clients and teammates — so every message lands with the right person at the right time.

Make your client portal a part of your design!

Your client portal should reflect your visual DNA. Zendo lets you white-label every detail — so clients see a brand, not a platform.

Your logo. Your colors. Your vibe.

Upload your logo and set an accent color to make the workspace fully aligned with your brand. Populate your style through all your assets.

Your domain = your corner of the Internet

Connect your domain to ensure every touchpoint on the client journey carries your brand — starting from the URL and the login page.

White-label everything!

Customize almost everything clients ever interact with — sidebar, documents, emails, even the favicon. Zendo disappears so your brand can take center stage.

Built for designers. Loved by their clients.

“My clients think I built a custom platform just for them. Zendo is fully branded, the intake forms make onboarding effortless, and I can sell packages directly through the portal. I stopped duct-taping five different tools together and haven’t looked back.”

                        — Sarah Mitchell, UI/UX Designer & Studio Owner
