Airtable CRM & Client Portal
A branded CRM and client-facing portal built on Airtable — no expensive SaaS subscription.
Overview
A branded CRM and client-facing portal built on Airtable — no expensive SaaS subscription. I designed a relational Airtable CRM for leads, deals and projects, then built a branded client portal in Softr where each client logs in to see only their own projects, files and invoices. Make.com keeps everything in sync and sends status updates automatically. Built with Airtable, Softr, Make.com, this no-code platform project was delivered for a client in USA and designed for reliability, a clean user experience and long-term maintainability — so it keeps delivering value well after launch.
The challenge
A growing agency paid for a bloated CRM they barely used, while clients had no way to see project status without emailing for updates.
