Brand designer
“My decks look great. Then I chase the invoice for three weeks.”
Send an on-brand proposal with a deposit they pay the moment they accept. Get paid before you open the file.
Everything you run a client on, in one calm place
From first proposal to final payment, without the busywork.
Send branded proposals, sign contracts, invoice, and hand clients one portal that is all yours. Powerful where it counts, simple everywhere else.

Sound like you?
Raoura is built for the freelancer running the whole business alone. See your day in here.

“Booking here, contract there, invoice somewhere else. It is chaos.”
One link where your client signs, pays the deposit, and sees the whole job. No app-hopping for either of you.
Web developer
“Scope creep quietly eats every margin I have got.”
Bill by milestone. The client approves and pays each stage before you build the next. Scope stays honest.
Consultant
“I want to look like a firm, not a freelancer with a Gmail.”
A white-label portal under your name makes a team of one feel established the second a client logs in.
Milestone projects, without the middleman
Upwork makes clients trust an escrow account. We make them trust the work.
Clients approve and pay each milestone as you finish it, so they never pay ahead for work they have not seen. You keep 100%, and every payment lands straight in your bank.

You keep 100%

Run the business, not just the paperwork
The questions that keep a freelancer up, answered on one screen.
How is my business actually doing?
Revenue trend, what's outstanding and how late, your proposal win rate, and how long clients really take to pay. Computed from the work you already track, so there is nothing to set up and no spreadsheet to maintain.
Honest numbers too: medians instead of averages, and a plain warning when too much of your year rides on one client.
Did they even see it? Should I follow up?
Every client page is a small command center: when you last heard from them, what they owe, what they have not opened yet, plus a stage, notes, and a follow-up date that resurfaces on your dashboard and in your weekly briefing.
A CRM with three fields, on purpose. Everything richer is computed for you.
An inquiry form that fills your pipeline
A branded page for your link-in-bio or website embed. Every inquiry lands as a lead, and you get an email.
Automations that draft, never send
Reminders that chase payment, retainer invoices that mint themselves, AI that flags scope creep. You stay in charge.
A tax pack your accountant will love
Every payment as a spreadsheet and every invoice as a PDF, zipped, in two clicks each January.
White-label client portal
A client portal with your name on it, not ours.
A team of one should look every bit as established as a studio. Raoura gives your clients one branded home for the whole engagement, so the experience feels like software you built yourself.
- Your logo, your colors, your accent. Clients see your brand, never the word Raoura.
- One link for everything: proposals to accept, invoices to pay, contracts to sign, milestones to track.
- No login walls or app downloads. Your client clicks once and they are in. Want a lock? Require sign-in per client with one switch.
- Serve it all from your own domain, like portal.yourstudio.com. Included in the plan, one DNS record to set up.
