Guaranteed live in 30 days

A customer portal, live in 30 days.

We build and launch your self-service customer portal.

The problem

Right now, somewhere in your business, your team is being the portal.

Your customer is on hold for an update they could have read themselves. Your team is resending the third PDF this week. Your senior leader is answering a question that should never have reached them. Your new starter is being trained on a process that lives in someone's head.

These five-minute interactions add up. Across a year they cost the salary of a senior hire you'll never make, spent on work that earns nothing and grows nothing.

You've looked at the alternatives. Off-the-shelf software was built for someone else's business, not yours. Custom development takes four months of proposals before you see anything working. Both ask for big commitments before you know if the thing will fit.

There's a third option that doesn't ask either of those things.

The solution

Three journeys. Your branding. Live in 30 days.

We've built customer portals for Superior, Wolsey Hall, Icon Solutions and L&DI, and learned which journey patterns actually work. Choose the three that take the most repeat work off your team. We build them around your business: your branding, your systems, your data. The portal launches on your domain within 30 days of contract signing, with the delivery date guaranteed in writing.

Is this for you?

Should your organisation have a customer portal?

If you have admin-heavy processes, then you'll benefit from a SpotDev-built customer portal.

The organisations we deliver portals to repeatedly

Built for you if you run

  • A B2B services business (30-500 staff) where customers chase your team for updates
  • A membership body or professional association tired of admin email
  • An education or training provider with applications, courses or assessments
  • A regulated services business with approval, compliance or audit touchpoints
  • A B2B SaaS or productised service with multi-user enterprise customers
We're upfront about who SpotDev doesn't serve well

Probably not the right fit if you are

  • A B2C ecommerce business or consumer marketplace
  • A single-user SaaS with no multi-user customer accounts
  • An enterprise needing 5,000+ portal users on day one
  • Looking for a platform to resell to your own clients

Why mid-market teams pick SpotDev for customer portal development.

A SpotDev-built portal is fixed-price, launches on time and is customised to your brand.

The usual options

Custom development or off-the-shelf software

With SpotDev

Branded, integrated, live in 30 days

The usual options

£60-120k quotes over 4-6 months

Open-scope custom development means months of proposals, surprise costs and uncertainty about what you'll actually get.

With SpotDev

From £15,000 fixed price, 30 days

One number, agreed up front. Working software in two weeks. Live portal in 30 days from contract signing.

The usual options

Subscription fees forever

Off-the-shelf software costs £20-40k per year, every year, with no end in sight and nothing you actually own at the end.

With SpotDev

Managed or self-hosted options

SpotDev Managed Hosting starts at £50 per month, or you can self-host on your own infrastructure.

The usual options

Your business bends to the vendor

Generic software forces you to fit your customers, members or partners into the way it was designed, not the way you actually run things.

With SpotDev

Your journeys, your branding, your systems

Pick your journeys from our catalogue (or request a custom one). We brand and integrate them around your business, not the other way around.

The usual options

Scope drift, missed deadlines

Custom projects routinely slip three, six, twelve months. The team that quoted is rarely the team that ships.

With SpotDev

30-day delivery guarantee, in writing

Miss the agreed launch date and we refund your first payment in full. You keep everything we've built.

What we build

Turn repeat admin into clear self-service journeys.

If your team has repetitive customer facing work, then SpotDev can build a self-service journey that gives your customers what they need and keeps your data fresh.

Why SpotDev

Built for operators who need this to work.

You are not buying a brochure site. You are buying a working operational system that customers will rely on.

In-house engineering team

No hand-off to freelancers or white-labelled production teams. The people who scope your portal are the people who build it, test it and support it. UK-registered company.

Track record in serious environments

Our portals support banks, accreditation bodies, schools and payments teams. They handle real users, sensitive processes and repeat operational work.

Built around your business, not a template

Your portal carries your brand, your processes, your integrations and your customer language. We use proven journey patterns to keep the timeline. The rest is configured to you.

SpotDev has found solutions, automations and integrations to meet our clients' needs and our own.

Frequently asked questions about customer portals

The commercial, technical and practical details before you send a configuration.

What does the £15,000 actually include?

A working customer portal on your domain, with three customer journeys of your choice, your branding, and one third-party integration per journey. It also includes the platform foundation: authentication, admin access, responsive design, email notifications, audit logging and hosting.

What is not included in the £15,000 fixed price?

The fixed price covers a clearly scoped first version of your portal. It does not include open-ended product development, complex legacy system rebuilds, bespoke mobile app functionality, data cleansing projects, or unlimited integrations. If something sits outside the fixed scope, we will tell you before any contract or invoice is issued.

How custom is the portal if the price is fixed?

The journeys are based on proven portal patterns, but the portal is not a generic template. We adapt the content, branding, fields, permissions, notifications and integrations around your business. The fixed scope works because we start from journey patterns that already solve common operational problems, then configure them around your users and systems.

How can you deliver a working portal in 30 days?

We do not start from a blank page. SpotDev uses established portal foundations, reusable journey patterns and an in-house engineering team that has built this kind of operational software before. The 30-day timeline depends on a fixed scope, fast access to required systems, prompt feedback from your team and no major change in requirements after kickoff.

What do we own at the end?

You own your portal, your data and the work delivered for your project. We do not hold your portal hostage inside a rented platform. If ongoing support is useful, we can provide it, but it is optional. We will confirm the hosting, access, code and handover details during the scope review before contract signing.

What if we want more than three journeys?

You can add as many as you need. The configurator lets you keep adding journeys past your package's included count. Each extra journey is £2,000 and adds two days to the timeline. If your extras add up to more than £5,000, the configurator automatically upgrades you to the next tier (Standard 3 journeys at £15,000, Advanced 5 journeys at £20,000, Premium 7 journeys at £25,000) so you get more bundled in at a lower per-journey rate.

Can we integrate with our existing systems?

Yes. One integration per journey is included, so the portal can update or read from the systems your team already uses. Additional integrations are £1,500 each.

What counts as an included integration?

An included integration is a connection between one portal journey and one third-party system where there is a usable API or agreed data exchange method. For example, submitting a request into your CRM, showing document status from an internal system, or updating a membership record.

What makes an integration chargeable?

Additional integrations are chargeable when a journey needs to connect to more than one external system, when a system needs custom protocol work, when the data requires significant transformation, or when the integration needs unusual security, approval or audit requirements. We will confirm this before you commit.

Is the portal secure enough for sensitive customer or member data?

Security is part of the build, not an afterthought. The portal includes authentication, permissioned access, hosting, audit logging and appropriate handling of user data. If your organisation has specific compliance, security review, data residency or procurement requirements, we will confirm those during the scope call before the project begins.

Are the case studies equivalent to what we get for £15,000?

The case studies above were larger, bespoke engagements built by the same team on the same platform. The £15,000 portal delivers the fixed scope described on this page. If your requirements go beyond that scope, we will tell you before you commit, and price the difference as a fixed quote.

Can we change the scope after the project starts?

Yes, but changes can affect price and timeline. The fixed price depends on locking the first version before the 30-day build begins. If you need to change journeys, add integrations or expand functionality mid-project, we will explain the impact before proceeding.

What happens after I submit a request?

We contact you within an hour during UK business hours to book a 20-minute scope call with an engineer. We confirm the package, journeys, integrations, AI options and timeline, then send a formal contract and invoice. Once both are complete, your build begins.

How do we pay?

Bank transfer against our invoice. £5,000 on contract signing and the balance before launch. Hosting costs are paid by Direct Debit or recurring card payment.

Do you offer any discounts?

Yes. We can offer a generous discount if you pay up-front, and further discounts if you order during our quieter times of the year. Mention it on the scope call and we'll see what fits.

What happens if we need more after launch?

Most clients use the first version to replace a painful manual process, then improve it once real users are using it. After launch, you can ask SpotDev for additional journeys, integrations, refinements, mobile apps or ongoing support. You are not required to take a retainer, but many clients choose one once the portal becomes part of day-to-day operations.

Do you build native mobile apps?

Yes. Native iOS and Android apps are included with the Premium package. On Standard or Advanced, they are a £5,000 add-on. Either way they ship at the same time as the portal.

What if we're not sure exactly what we need?

<a href='#book-call-modal'>Book a 20-minute call</a> and one of our engineers will walk you through the options. You don't need to have everything figured out before speaking to us; we'll help you scope a useful first version.

Where are you based?

SpotDev Services Ltd is a UK-registered company with an in-house, fully remote engineering team.

What if you miss the 30-day deadline?

We refund your first payment in full and you keep everything built to that point.

No brittle middleware, no workarounds.

Whether you need a customer self-service software layer over support and billing, a customer portal website for onboarding and documents, or a full customer portal platform for a members or partner community, we scope it, build it and launch it for a fixed price from £15,000, live in 30 days, backed by a written delivery guarantee.
