Client Notion Portal

Client Notion Portal

$65

A ready-to-use Notion Client Portal system for managing all your branding and design client projects in one place.

It’s the exact workflow I use for my high-ticket projects ($25k+), and includes my Strategy Questionnaire that is trusted by 305+ creatives.

It’s designed for small studios, solo-designers and creatives.

This is for you if:

  • You want to raise your prices but don’t feel “premium” in your process yet

  • You want to freelance but have no systems built yet and don’t know where to start

  • You want to streamline your workflow and reduce admin time

  • Every new client feels like starting from scratch

  • You want to land better clients and charge more confidently

  • You’ve been meaning to ‘organise your process’ for months

What it helps you achieve:

  • Work like a premium studio ✅

  • Make clients feel confident and taken care of ✅

  • Reduce admin so you can actually design ✅

  • Charge more (because your process feels worth it) ✅

  • Onboard clients in a structured, repeatable way ✅

  • Stop brain-dumping tasks into random notes/apps ✅

  • Give clients a clean home base instead of email chaos ✅

What’s inside:

Core System

  • Central dashboard for all client projects

  • Customisable project template

  • Project onboarding checklist

  • Deliverables + payment milestones

  • Client-facing task lists + timelines

  • FAQs + resources

  • Document storage for invoices and contracts

  • Progress tracking, presentation uploads and feedback dashboard

  • Offboarding, testimonial + final files section

  • Testimonial + feedback guidance

Strategy & Comms

  • Strategy Questionnaire Template (4 sections: Business, Audience, Competitors and Aesthetics with 36 total questions)

  • Discovery Call Script Template

  • Email template frameworks from initial client enquiry to onboarding

  • Feedback + testimonial writing prompts for clients

Customisation & Branding

  • Banner Image Templates (Adobe Express & Canva)

  • Customisable layouts, fonts, colours and imagery to make it feel yours

Tutorials

  • 10-min walkthrough tutorial video

  • Setup checklist

Real Client Reviews (from £20k+ projects):

How it works:

  • Immediate access via Notion Link through a pdf download.

  • Duplicate into your Notion account, follow the setup checklist, watch the walkthrough video tutorial, and customise it to your workflow and branding

Important notes:

  • This template is built inside Notion (its not standalone software)

  • Works on a Free Notion plan with file uploads up to 5MB, and 10 client guests

  • Notion Plus is recommended for:→ unlimited file uploads & storage→ up to 100 client guests

  • Clients can access and use the portal for free

  • Clients only see the content inside their specific project page. Anything outside of that remains private to you.

  • Fully customisable: logos, colours, fonts, images, copy, workflows and services

  • While the portal is made with brand designers in mind, the structure works for other creative industries such as web design, illustration, architecture, social media and other creative industries

  • This portal works best for one-off or fixed-scope projects, rather than ongoing retainer-style work

  • Optimised for desktop, but also compatible with mobile

Refunds & Usage:

  • For personal business use only (cannot redistribute or resell as a template)

  • Because these are a digital products there are no refunds, returns or exchanges. All sales are final.

I bought this yesterday and it’s honestly so good. You can really tell how much time and thought has gone into it. It’s already made my process feel so much more premium, and in my opinion it’s worth way more than the price. Thank you so much for creating this.
