Your last client, in your next proposal.

Asking for a testimonial feels like one more favor. Make it one link: your customer records a short video from their phone, and you get the clip, captions and the sentence worth quoting.

A real face is harder to doubt than a written review

Anyone can type five stars. A customer on camera, with their name, their voice, and their own shop behind them, is proof your prospects can judge for themselves.

Questions

What does my customer see?

A page with your question and a record button. They record in the browser on their phone or laptop, with no account and no app. PortalCollect appears only as a small byline.

Who decides what gets published?

You do. Before sending, your customer agrees to a short notice that says where the video may appear. They can withdraw at any time, and pages served here stop showing it within 24 hours.

Can I edit what they said?

You can trim the clip, remove pauses, choose the quote and translate the captions. The meaning of what your customer said stays theirs.

What happens if I stop paying?

Your hosted pages and the clips on them stop being public until you subscribe again.
