Q: Hi, is the Customer Portal Visual?
I'm a Custom Design jeweler and I deal with a lot of images. I'm currently using a platform calle " Bloom.Io " which from the visual side is great with it's galleries to share jewelry designs with my clients. Where it all falls apart is in the Automations where I have to create that with so many outside tools. It has no Bookkeeping but just gives me an invoice. So now I need another tool to drop all that into and manage. I've seen people comment that it's not real Flashy, and that's okay if it actually performs the " Work " which is what I need. I'm a Solopreneur and want to stay that way so Automation is HUGE for me. I also use Ai Tools and have for 4 years now for both Designing and for multiplying myself.

Feb 10, 2026A: Hi Kevin,
Great question - and it sounds like SuiteDash could be a solid fit for what you're describing.
**Is the Portal Visual?** Yes, but let me set expectations. You have full control over the Client Portal design - you can customize colors, logos, layouts, and build custom Dashboards and Portal Pages using our Content Block Editor. You can display images, create galleries using Image Blocks, and present your jewelry designs in a professional way. That said, we're not a purpose-built visual portfolio platform like Bloom.io - we're a business operations platform that happens to have flexible visual capabilities. Whether it meets your specific gallery presentation needs is something you'd want to test in a trial.
**Where SuiteDash Shines for Your Use Case:**
**Automations:** This is our strength. You can build complete workflows without outside tools - when a client approves a design, automatically generate an invoice, send a follow-up email, create a project, update their status, and more. All native, no Zapier required for most workflows.
**Invoicing + More:** We're not full bookkeeping software (no general ledger or chart of accounts), but we handle invoicing, payments, estimates, and subscription billing. You can connect to QuickBooks if you need the accounting side.
**AI Integration:** We have SuiteAi live now for content generation, and we're deep into developing AI capabilities including an AI Logic Engine that can assess uploaded images and make decisions based on your prompts - which could be interesting for your design workflow.
**Solo-Friendly:** Unlimited Clients on any plan. You only pay for Staff seats you actually use. Built for businesses exactly like yours.
I'd recommend starting a 14-day free trial and testing whether the visual presentation meets your needs for sharing jewelry designs. If the gallery side works for you, the automation and operational side will likely exceed what you're currently piecing together.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Mike
