Project Overview
The client planned to launch a new product available exclusively to verified professionals. The requirement was clear: a private, access-controlled web portal focused on functionality, speed, and security—without the complexity of a public website or traditional eCommerce system.
The portal needed to allow approved users to register, log in, place orders, and access restricted downloadable resources, while giving administrators full control over user approvals, orders, and documents.
Challenges
- Building a secure members-only portal without unnecessary design clutter
- Ensuring smooth manual approval workflows for professional access
- Keeping the system lightweight, fast, and easy to maintain
- Integrating form-based workflows with email and Google Sheet tracking
- Allowing admins to manage documents without technical complexity

Solution Delivered
Homepage – Professional Access Portal
A clean, distraction-free homepage featuring a welcome message, company overview, and clear calls to action: Request Access and Login to Portal. Branding elements were implemented as provided by the client.
Registration & Approval System
A lightweight “Request Access” form captured all required professional details, including licence verification and PDF uploads. Submissions were automatically emailed to admins and logged in Google Sheets, allowing for easy manual review and approval.
Secure Login & Member Access
Approved users gained access to a secure login area with password recovery functionality, ensuring only verified professionals could proceed.
