If you’re tired of your team jumping between a dozen tools that barely speak to each other, of customers waiting for info that should already be accessible, and of processes held together with spreadsheets and wishful thinking, then this page is exactly where you need to be.
Pearl Lemon Consulting doesn’t deal in theories. We fix systems that are bleeding time, money, and sanity. Tired of juggling broken systems, clunky tools, and non-stop manual fixes? You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. Pearl Lemon Consulting builds web portals that put everything (and everyone) in one place, so your business runs how it should.
Our Service
We design, build, and deploy custom web portal solutions that solve real operational issues.
Here’s a breakdown of what we deliver:
Portal Architecture & Systems Mapping
We identify where your workflows are breaking and map out a central system around your actual process logic. This includes defining entity relationships, role-based permissions, and user flow across interfaces.
Why it matters: Without a clear structure, your portal becomes a digital junk drawer. Architecture makes it scalable, maintainable, and logically sound from day one.
Custom User Interfaces with Role-Specific Dashboards
We build clean, purpose-built dashboards for each user type (staff, clients, vendors). No clutter. No extra tabs. Just what matters.
How it helps: Reduces learning curve, cuts down errors, and eliminates back-and-forth.
Clients can log in and see only their order status. Staff get exactly what they need to take action — no more, no less.
Secure Authentication & Access Control
We implement token-based authentication (JWT), SSO, MFA, and granular permission layers. Admins control who sees what, down to field-level access.
Why it’s critical: A single data breach can ruin years of work. Proper access control reduces liability and ensures compliance.
System Integrations & API Connectivity
We hook into your existing platforms — CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), ERPs (SAP, Oracle), payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal), scheduling tools, and databases.
We also build middleware if APIs are locked or inconsistent.
Benefit: Eliminates redundant input. Ensures real-time updates. Connect your tech stack to function as one system.
Data Management & Reporting Modules
Structured database design. Custom reports. Exportable data. Audit trails.
Whether it’s order histories, customer interactions, or internal KPIs, we build the framework that makes data work for you.
What this solves: No more pulling reports from three places and merging in Excel. One source of truth. Always current.
Mobile-Responsive Front-End & Cross-Browser Compatibility
Our portals run seamlessly on any device, any screen size, and any browser.
Built using modern frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) and tested across environments.
Why you care: Your users aren’t always on a desktop. If it breaks on mobile, it breaks your reputation.
Ongoing Maintenance & Version Control
We provide continuous updates, version tracking, uptime monitoring, and regression testing. Git-based version control with CI/CD pipelines ensures changes are tested and pushed cleanly.
Problem solved: No “it used to work but now it’s broken.” You’re never guessing which version is live or what’s been deployed.
Performance Optimization & Load Handling
We conduct load testing (using JMeter, Locust) and database optimization to keep response times fast, even during traffic spikes.
We implement caching, async processing, and lazy loading where needed.
Why it’s needed: If your portal slows down at peak usage, you lose trust, sales, or operational efficiency.
Why Work With Us?
- Deep technical stack — Node.js, Laravel, .NET, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes. If it runs on a server, we know it.
- API-first mindset — Your portal will talk to anything that can be talked to.
- Frontend logic separation — Clean separation of concerns means faster changes, fewer bugs, and easier scaling.
- DevSecOps baked in — We don’t build first and secure later. Security starts at planning.
- Real documentation — Every module, endpoint, and user action gets written up. No code black boxes.
We’re not interested in being your dev shop. We’re interested in being the last team you hire for this job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you integrate our current CRM and billing tools into the portal?
Yes. We’ve integrated Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Xero, QuickBooks, and others via REST, GraphQL, and Webhook-based APIs. We’ll assess endpoint availability and build any required middleware.
How secure is the portal?
We follow OWASP protocols, enforce TLS encryption, token-based authentication, and role-based access control. All code is reviewed and tested under static and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST).
What if our team needs to make updates post-launch?
We structure the system for maintainability. Admin-level users can manage content, data inputs, and reports. For deeper logic or structural edits, our team provides documentation and optional training.
Can it handle large data sets and concurrent logins?
Absolutely. We’ve built portals serving over 50,000 users with simultaneous sessions. With proper load balancing and cloud hosting, performance won’t be an issue.
How long does it take to build a portal?
Anywhere from 8 to 16 weeks depending on complexity. Simple customer-facing portals may go faster. Enterprise-grade internal platforms take more planning and integration work.
What’s the cost range?
Most projects fall between £15,000 – £85,000. We quote after the initial consultation with a scope-based breakdown.
Do we own the code?
Yes. You own full IP rights once payment terms are met. No license traps, no vendor lock-in.
If You’re Still Reading, You Already Know This Isn’t Optional
You’re here because the cracks are already showing.
And no template or plug-and-play solution is going to fix what’s wrong.
Custom web portal development consulting isn’t a luxury. It’s the answer to a system that’s outgrown its band-aids.
Let’s fix the foundation.
