In plain English
A photography client portal is where each client browses a private gallery of their shoot, marks their favourites and receives their final files, while the photographer sees every shoot in one place. It follows the Client hubs pattern: one shared space per client: deliverables, documents, milestones. Pory generates it from a plain-English description, with a login for each role (client and photographer) that shows only what that role should see, and flat pricing with unlimited clients.
What it does
Proofs usually go out as a folder of 600 thumbnails named DSC_4471, sent to whoever made the booking. Each client signs in to a gallery of their own shoot, every photo a card with its name and their pick. They can scroll it on the sofa, on their phone, as often as they like.
Picking favourites used to mean an email listing file numbers, "4471, 4480 and the one where Dad's laughing", that the photographer cross-checked by hand. Clients mark each photo Favourite, Maybe or Not for me in a list, and the photographer filters to the favourites. Editing starts from a clear list instead of a decoded email.
Final files go out on a USB stick in the post or through a transfer service, and six months later the client asks for them again. The photographer uploads the finished edits to a delivery for the client, marked editing, ready or delivered. The files stay where the client can find them when they finally get round to ordering prints.
One shared proofing folder and one wrong link, and a bride is looking at a stranger's newborn shoot. Each client signs in to their own photos and deliveries, and the photographer sees every shoot from the same portal. Sending a gallery never means hoping a link doesn't get forwarded to the wrong person.
Pory generates a portal from these pieces and wires the permissions between them. The same parts run a grant round, a help desk, and a tenant portal — only the names on the pages change.
Collect
Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.
An application page, a notice board, an open directory — pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.
People create their own account and land in the role you chose for them.
Upload and view files on the record they belong to — not in a folder named FINAL v2.
Decide
Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.
“Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.
Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.
Task lists ticked off per record, in its detail view, with progress — onboarding runs, inspections, opening duties.
Name who a record is for and it lands on their list, and nobody else's.
A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note — kept on the record it belongs to, never lost in a thread.
Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.
Share
Search, filters, sorting, inline add and edit — the spreadsheet, minus the sharing accident.
Portraits, names, and roles from a table, shown only to the roles allowed to see them.
Records on a month or week view, by date.
Records as cards or photos.
Open a unit, a pet or a listing to see its details and everything tied to it — requests, visits, offers. Share it by link; edit, change the status or add a related item from there.
Check-in details, benefits, updates — a page for a role to read.
Live figures over the records a viewer is allowed to see.
Control
Each person sees their own records, the ones assigned to them, their team's or the ones they manage. Fields can be hidden per role. Generated from your description, not set up field by field.
A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.
Your domain, your colours, your logo. Members see you.
Describe it in a sentence and send the invite. Unlimited clients, flat price.
