Advocate Portal

Learn how to create and customize the Advocate Portal
The Advocate Portal is the dashboard where your advocate can manage every aspect of their referral program account. They can easily share your brand, review their stats in real-time, and get paid.

A fully built portal contains everything your advocate needs to get started with your referral program. You can customize all aspects of the template, edit content, replace images, delete sections, etc. The options are endless.

This portal is built with Bootstrap 4 Framework, HTML5, CSS3, and JQuery and is easily customizable, fully responsive, and supports all current browsers and devices.
