Look like an agency.
Bill like one.

One portal replaces the duct-tape stack
Your craft is agency-grade. Your process should be too.
Clients judge your rate by how the project feels. Seven tools and a sticky note feel like a side hustle. One disciplined portal feels like an agency.

Six phases. Zero ambiguity.
Every project in Wuilder follows the same disciplined path — so clients always know what's next, what's owed, and what they're approving.
Setup & invoicing
Scope it, price it, schedule the money.
Create the project, draft the proposal and map a milestone invoice schedule — 100% upfront, 50/50, 25/50/25 or fully custom.
- Proposal + contract parameters
- Milestones that must add to 100%
- Saved as a draft until you launch
Onboarding
A branded welcome, not a Drive link.
Your client gets a secure 24-hour token by email, lands in your branded portal and signs the agreement before anything else happens.
- Expiring 24h magic token
- Your logo, your colors
- Agreement signed in-portal
Payment gates
Work unlocks when the money lands.
Clients pay each milestone via your external payment link. You verify it in Wuilder, and the next phase opens — not a minute before.
- Pay via Stripe, PayPal, Wise — any link
- Manual verify = zero disputes
- Locked phases are visibly locked
Phase 1 · Kickoff
The brief gets approved. The scope gets locked.
Clients complete in-dashboard questionnaires, then click “Approve Brief” — mechanically locking scope so creep has nowhere to start.
- Drag-and-drop questionnaire builder
- Color, file, date & choice fields
- One click locks the scope
Phase 2 · Core creation
Present concepts. Protect the work.
Concepts live in a secure, non-downloadable gallery with full version history — protected without slapping cheap watermarks on your best ideas.
- Version history with release notes
- No right-click, no download
- Approve or request changes inline
Phase 3 · Final handover
The final invoice clears. The vault opens.
When the last payment is verified, your client unlocks an animated gallery of final files with 1-click batch ZIP downloads.
- Pick exactly which files ship
- Animated reveal gallery
- 1-click batch ZIP download
Payment milestones
25/50/25Work unlocks when the money lands.
Clients pay each milestone through your own payment link. You verify it in one click — and only then does the next phase open. Go on, verify a payment.

Clients don't pay agencies more because they design better. They pay more because the process feels inevitable — every step announced, every payment expected, every file exactly where it should be. Wuilder gives a studio of one that same inevitability.
