Your unique client portal will act as your main point of contact with clients outside of office visits. You can customize the client portal colors to match your existing website - this helps clients feel safe knowing they are not being taken to a new place that is totally independent from your site. Alternatively, if you don't have an existing website, you can add pages to the client portal allowing it to stand alone as your main professional site.

 

Tip: Nearly all settings and images can be changed.  We recommend you set things how you imagine they will work best, then return to make changes as needed once you start testing portal functions and appearance as a client.

 

NOTE: Your account manager is adept at editing and setting up client portals. Please contact your account manager for assistance or clarification with customization features.
