Collab —
Jade is a Graphic Designer & Illustrator from New Zealand.
She works on some select client projects here for Good as Gold, she’s also the OG Notion Nerd & the mastermind behind this whole (insane) Client Portal Template.
This Client Portal template is something Jade started creating over a year ago, and we put it to the test on some client projects for a solid few months, and we’ve refined into something we reckon is really clean, and truly helps client projects run so much smoother than they ever have before.
Ditch the chaotic shit-show of ugly and disjointed tools that you've been using to run your biz.
… and say hello to the Studio Dashboard Template.
No kidding, this template has been a game changer for me — after being in business so long and never really finding a system like this, it feels like I can finally get my shit together.
“Changed my life! I love a pretty system that actually is functional. Worth every penny!
— Jodi | Letters and Lines Creative Co

FAQ

-
There is a totally FREE version that you can use and theres also a paid version if you want more of the features available to you.
The main difference with the paid version is that you can upload more than 5mb at a time and invite more than 5 guests (aka clients). The paid version is $4 a month, but (hot tip) if you go to your setting in Notion then “earn credit” you can get $26 in credit to use for the subscription by completing some easy tasks!
-
You can use your own brand fonts on any of the custom heading that are included in this template (or anywhere else that an image is uploaded). In terms of actually changing the fonts within Notion, you can only choose from three different font options, sans-serif, serif or mono. The custom headings are what really make the template stand out though!
-
It won’t take much time to fully customise the template, all of the custom elements are neatly organised in an Adobe XD file, as well as Canva for you to easily go in and add your own brand colours and fonts!
This wouldn’t take longer than 20-30 minutes to fully customise.
If you really don’t like the idea of customising the headings at all, you can just leave them how they are OR use the “no custom headings” template that you also have access to. This version uses the Notion fonts as headings instead so you can edit the text within Notion if you prefer, you will then only have to add your studio details and a few other small things.
-
We feel that. Tbh I (Sian) didn’t ‘get it’ either, until Jade showed me this INSANE template she had been working on. I think part of the struggle with Notion is starting from absolute scratch, so hopefully we’re able to change that experience with this template!
This template also includes 3 different tutorials to help you get fully set up!
1 — A basic Notion tutorial, showing you all of the essentials + shortcuts.
2 — A client portal template walk through, showing you what each section is and what it’s used for.
3 — How to customise your template.
-
If you work with a team, you will only need to purchase this template once! But this can only be used within the agency/team. For example, if someone in the team ends up leaving or has their own thing on the side, they will need to purchase this on their own.
-
You will get sent a link to the main project dashboard, you will then need to duplicate the template so that you have full access to it. This is super easy to do and once it’s duplicated it’ll add it straight your your Notion account! Because this is quite a large template, it might take a couple of minutes to duplicate the entire thing but just be patient.
-
No. Please do not send the template to anyone else or resell it AT ALL, in any way. Jade has spent an insane amount of hours perfecting this template and we’re super excited to be sharing it with you, but we would appreciate it if you didn’t share it with anyone that hasn’t paid for it.
