Industries / Creative studios
Websites and client portals for photography and creative studios
A studio website usually ends up as a portfolio template, a separate print shop, a booking app, and a long email thread for approvals. We build it as one site, with a portal behind it for you and your clients.
What we build for studios
Start with one piece or build them together.
- A portfolio organized by collection, built so new work and new collections slot in
- Print sales on your own site, including custom sizes, with an automated order flow
- Shoot booking tied to your calendar, on the same site as the portfolio
- A client portal where customers follow the job, see progress photos, and approve work in one thread
- An owner portal for past, current, and upcoming projects, with customer records kept beside each one
- Site content you edit from the portal, so updates go live without touching code

One site instead of four tools
Template builders handle a portfolio well. Once you also sell prints in custom sizes, book shoots against a real calendar, and chase approvals over email, you are paying for and logging in to several tools that do not talk to each other. We build those pieces as one system.
How a project runs
Step 1
Free scope review
We look at how work moves through your business today and agree on a fixed scope, price, and timeline before any code is written.
Step 2
Build in 2 to 4 weeks
We build in a fixed window. You see progress every week, and the scope doesn't drift.
Step 3
Launch and tune
We launch, walk your team through it, and tune it through the first weeks of real use.
Questions owners ask
- Can I update the site myself?
- Yes. TaserDesigns' owner edits his site content from his portal, and changes go live without anyone touching code.
- Can clients approve work before it ships?
- Yes. In the TaserDesigns client portal, customers follow their job, see progress photos, and approve the work in the same thread.
- Do I need Shopify to sell prints?
- No. DerinStudio sells acrylic prints in any size from its own site, with the order flow built in.
- What does it cost?
- Websites start at $3,000 and client portals at $8,000. The free scope review sets a fixed price and timeline before any work starts.
