For a client portal with logins, the best choice depends on how custom and secure you need it to be. Here are the most common options:
1. If you want the easiest setup
Use a membership/client portal platform like:
- Kajabi
- Podia
- Thinkific
- Mighty Networks
- WordPress + MemberPress / Restrict Content Pro
Good for:
- Login-based access
- File sharing / resources
- Courses, documents, or client-only pages
2. If you want a custom web portal
Use a web app stack like:
- Next.js / React for the frontend
- Supabase or Firebase for authentication + database
- Auth0 or Clerk for login management
- Vercel or Netlify for hosting
Good for:
- Custom dashboards
- Client-specific data
- More control over permissions and UX
3. If you want a business portal with CRM/project tools
Use:
- SuiteDash
- Zoho Creator
- Dubsado
- HoneyBook
Good for:
- Client onboarding
- Secure document exchange
- Messaging
- Invoices and workflows
My quick recommendation
- Simple portal: WordPress + MemberPress
- Custom portal: Next.js + Supabase + Clerk/Auth0
- Business operations portal: SuiteDash
If you want, I can also recommend the best option based on your exact use case (e.g. secure docs, dashboards, client messaging, subscriptions, or internal staff/client access).
