Presenting Portals
Portals is a tool for reviewing work, where creative professionals share files and clients express their feedback. Creatives make beautiful review pages in seconds, that they share with clients and get notified the minute they receive feedback.

Who uses Portals?
Portals serves two types of users: creatives and their clients. Creatives such as photographers, videographers, designers. Clients such as marketing managers, but also, anyone else who commissions work.

Problem: Missing the essentials
Portals was supposed to facilitate feedback, but users were struggling with expressing themselves clearly. There was no way to leave precise comments, to mark certain parts of an image or video frame. And we kept hearing that regular comments were no longer cutting it.
We are just interested in the review client process. For us to use it, we would need to be able to annotate images.
I’d love a feature that offers visual, contextual commenting. Portals would easily become a powerhouse tool.
Allow some way to mark up a photo or ability to add boxes around areas that specific comments are calling out.
Add a tool that allows image markup (i.e., color markers,
highlighter, circle / line /
square.
Competition: What else is there
I set out on a journey to learn more about ways to be more precise in comments, like annotations and markup. Not only was it essential to asses what users could get from our direct competitors, but also I wanted to understand what this capability looked like in non-review specific tools.
