Raw Studio: client portals with live progress instead of weekly sync meetings

Notion says a Sydney design agency invites clients into project pages with a live board, replacing hours of status meetings.

WHAT THEY DID

Raw Studio gives each project a page with its own branding, UX or development workflow, keeps each sprint’s board and feedback together, and invites clients into structured pages with a Kanban board and direct access to designers. Linked databases connect projects, a CRM, a talent roster and revenue forecasting.

HOW IT WENT

The agency reports cutting up to five hours a week of client meetings and saving over $20,000 a year in software.

WORTH KNOWING

A vendor story with no date; a “30% less meeting overhead” headline figure isn’t explained in the text.
