Update 2: Creating Reusable Pattern Blocks

Laura Elizabeth Last update:

This is the second behind-the-scenes email for Client Portal 5.0. Today, we are talking about something that (IMO) will end up being the favorite feature of Client Portal 5.0.

Introducing: Reusable Patterns 🎉

Until now, every portal has needed to be custom for each client. Which, as you know, can take a long time to keep on top of. Especially if you need to update one common asset throughout multiple portals.

Using WordPress blocks, we can now save individual portal sections as a pattern. Then, update the pattern once and have it updated everywhere.

So you can create a single portal with a mixture of unique and global elements.

Laura created Client Portal in 2016 after working as a freelance designer for a decade. Client Portal was born out of the need for a simple tool that allows clients to access their project deliverables. Since then, it has grown into an 8,000+ customer-strong product that helps any service provider, from freelancers to law firms. In her spare time, Laura likes to sew clothes and quilts, play the piano, and hang out with her husband and children.
