# How Can I Share Project Progress With Clients Through a Simple Portal?

You share progress by giving each client a restricted view of their own projects, showing stages, upcoming deliveries, files for review, and open decisions, built from the same data your team already updates. On **Jestor**, this runs through permission-based views and dashboards.

Clients who cannot see progress tend to ask for it, often at inconvenient times. Each status email interrupts the team, and clients who feel uninformed lose trust even when the work is going well.

## What status-by-email costs

- Team time spent answering the same questions
- Clients anxious because they cannot see progress
- Inconsistent answers from different people
- Delays when a client waits for a reply to see status

## How a client portal works

- A restricted **view** shows only that client's projects
- Stages, dates, and files are updated by the team
- Clients can approve items and send comments
- Internal notes and costs stay hidden

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Transparency builds trust with less effort
- The team no longer writes status updates by hand
- Approvals happen in the same place as the information
- This scales from a few clients to a large agency

| Status by email            | Client progress portal          |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Repeated questions, delays | Self-service and always current |
