Trust & branding
How to Give Clients a Branded Handoff That Builds Trust
The page where a client hands over a passport or a password should look like your service, not a generic tool. Put your logo, colors, and your own domain on it, and for client work, show the client's logo alongside yours.
The moment a client hands over something sensitive is the moment your branding matters most. A handoff page that carries your logo, your colors, and your own domain reads as a deliberate, trusted part of your service. A generic third-party page reads as off-the-shelf and makes people hesitate right when you need them to feel safe. Put your identity on the page, and for client work, show the client's logo alongside yours so the page clearly belongs to their project.
The handoff page is a trust moment
Ask someone to upload their passport or their hosting login and you're asking for a small act of faith. What reassures them isn't a promise in an email, it's what the page looks like when they get there. A custom domain adds credibility and legitimacy, and a fully branded page signals that this is a real part of how you work. The opposite is just as true. When a client sees a third-party tool's branding on the page, it undermines the experience and hints that you're using something off the shelf rather than delivering a tailored service.
What clients read as "professional"
| Handoff page | Looks like your service? | Client hesitation | Signals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your logo + client logo + your domain | Yes | Low | Deliberate, tailored, trusted |
| Your logo only | Mostly | Some | Branded but generic URL |
| Generic third-party page | No | High | Off-the-shelf, not yours |
How to set up a branded handoff
- Brand the workspace with your logo, name, and colors, so every page your team sends looks like you.
- Add the client's logo at the project level for client work, so the page reads as their project, handled by you.
- Use your own domain for the links, so the URL itself looks trustworthy.
- Send from your name, so notifications and reminders don't come from a generic tool.
- White-label the page where it matters, removing third-party attribution on client-facing pages.
- Keep it consistent across the team, so every client gets the same polished experience.
Where doconvoy fits
doconvoy brands the handoff at two levels. Your workspace logo, name, and colors apply everywhere, and each project can carry the client's own logo, so the page where they submit a passport or a credential shows both marks. White-label is available from the Pro plan, and a custom link domain and email sender from the Team plan, so links run on your domain and emails come from your name. The security underneath is the same. The difference is that the client sees your service, not a tool.
Show your logo and the client's on an encrypted page that looks like your service.

Common questions
Why does a branded handoff page matter?
It's the moment a client hands over something sensitive, so it's the moment trust matters most. A page carrying your identity reads as a deliberate part of your service. A generic third-party page signals off-the-shelf tools and makes people hesitate.
Can you show both your logo and the client's logo on the page?
Yes. doconvoy applies branding at the workspace and the project level, so the handoff page can carry your workspace logo and the client's project logo together, which makes the page clearly belong to their project.
Do you need a custom domain and white-label?
They add credibility, and they're plan features. In doconvoy, white-label (removing the 'Powered by doconvoy' badge) is available from the Pro plan, and a custom link domain and custom email sender from the Team plan.
