My commissions
Artist commissions portal
An artist commissions portal is where clients request a commission with a brief and references, follow its progress from sketch to finished piece, and receive the files on the commission itself.

“I'm an illustrator and want clients to request commissions with a brief and reference photos, see how their piece is progressing, and get their files delivered in one place.”

What is an artist commissions portal?
An artist commissions portal is where clients request a commission with a brief and references, follow its progress from sketch to finished piece, and receive the files on the commission itself. It follows the Requests pattern: someone submits, someone decides, it moves through statuses. Pory generates it from a plain-English description, with a login for each role (client and artist) that shows only what that role should see, and flat pricing with unlimited clients.
What it does
Clients request a commission with the brief and references attached
Commission requests arrive as Instagram DMs, a half-remembered chat at a market stall and an email with nine attachments. The client fills in one form: what they want, the medium, when they need it by, and their reference photos. The artist starts from a complete brief instead of scrolling back through a month of messages.
Forms to submit a recordDone by: Client
Clients see their piece move from sketching to delivered
Artists lose painting hours answering "how's it coming along?" in five different inboxes. Each client sees their own commissions move through Requested, Accepted, Sketching, In progress and Delivered, and can open one to see what's been sent so far. They can check at midnight without the artist replying at midnight.

The artist delivers sketches and final files on the commission
Finished files go out as email attachments that bounce for being too big, then as a link that lapses before the client gets to the framer. The artist uploads each delivery against its commission, from the first sketch to the print-ready file, and the client opens them from their own list. The high-resolution file is still there at Christmas.

The parts every portal is built from
Pory generates a portal from these pieces and wires the permissions between them. The same parts run a grant round, a help desk, and a tenant portal — only the names on the pages change.
Collect
Forms
Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.
Public pages
An application page, a notice board, an open directory — pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.
Self sign-up
People create their own account and land in the role you chose for them.
File attachments
Upload and view files on the record they belong to — not in a folder named FINAL v2.
Decide
Approve / reject with a reason
Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.
Status tracker
“Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.
Board by status
Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.
Checklists
Task lists ticked off per record, with progress — onboarding runs, inspections, opening duties.
Assign to a person
Name who a record is for and it lands on their list, and nobody else's.
Notes & scores
A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note — kept on the record it belongs to, never lost in a thread.
Reminders by date
Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.
Share
Tables
Search, filters, sorting, inline add and edit — the spreadsheet, minus the sharing accident.
People directory
Portraits, names, and roles from a table, shown only to the roles allowed to see them.
Calendar
Records on a month or week view, by date.
Gallery & image grid
Records as cards or photos.
Record pop-up & linked records
A shareable pop-up with a record's details and what's linked to it. Edit, change status, or add a linked record from there.
Notices & info pages
Check-in details, benefits, updates — a page for a role to read.
Counts, totals & averages
Live figures over the rows a viewer is allowed to read.
Control
Role & row access
Own, assigned, managed, and team rows; hidden fields per role. Generated from your description, not configured field by field.
No-Password Doors
A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.
Your brand
Your domain, your colours, your logo. Members see you.
On purpose
Four things Pory won’t do
A portal runs a program, a service, or a process. These jobs belong to tools built for them, and Pory keeps the records around them instead.
Take payments
Pory tracks who owes what and who has paid. It doesn't collect the money — keep your payment tool for that.
Book time slots
Availability, capacity, time zones, and reschedules are a whole product. Pory holds what happens after the booking.
Host the conversation
No feeds, threads, likes, or polls. A note on a record, yes; a forum, no. Where members talk is another tool's job.
Plan routes
Pory keeps the service record, not the map.
