Common Questions About This Client Portal
What is this Client Portal built with?
The Client Portal is built entirely with standard SharePoint web parts – Editorial, Image, Quick Links, and Text – arranged with flexible sections for a clean, branded layout. There is no custom code and there are no third-party tools, just SharePoint used well. It is the kind of clean, maintainable client-facing site Greg Zelfond builds for organizations that work with external clients.
What’s included on the Client Portal?
The portal opens with a branded homepage aligned to your visual identity, followed by a dedicated section where clients upload and share documents securely with your team. Quick links give clients access to essential forms, tools, and applications, a news section highlights project updates and industry developments, and a dashboard displays project metrics, timelines, and key milestones.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Everything on this design is standard SharePoint – the layout, web parts, and styling all come from what Microsoft includes with Microsoft 365. That matters because out-of-the-box sites are stable, secure, and easy to maintain, and nothing breaks when Microsoft rolls out updates. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg builds, and it keeps the portal simple for your team to own long after launch.
Can this design be customized for our organization?
Absolutely. The branding is the whole point of a client portal – colors, imagery, and layout are tailored to your visual identity so clients see a professional extension of your business. Greg adapts the sections to your engagement model, whether that means project dashboards, document submission, resource links, or news, so the portal matches how you actually work with clients.
Can external clients securely access this portal?
Yes. SharePoint supports secure external sharing, so clients sign in as guests and see only the content you share with them. Permissions control who can view or upload documents, and version history keeps a record of changes. That is what makes a portal like this practical – clients get self-service access to documents and updates while your internal content stays private.
Can Greg build this Client Portal for our organization?
Yes – this is exactly the kind of work Greg Zelfond does. As an independent SharePoint consultant and Microsoft MVP, Greg designs and builds out-of-the-box client portals like this one for organizations of all sizes. He handles the layout, branding, permissions, and rollout so your team gets a polished, secure portal without custom development. Reach out through the contact page to get started.
