The PlaymatriX Studio website.
The studio's own website, rebuilt from scratch with 17 photo galleries, an admin the team runs itself and a Google PageSpeed score of 99 on phones.
The problem
The studio's old website had lost every one of its images in a server move, showed stock photography where the portfolio should have been, and could not be changed without a developer. For a photography studio the website is the portfolio, so the new one had to show real work, load fast on the phones most visitors use, and be something the team could run themselves.
What we did
We designed and built a new site from scratch, in light and dark themes, and gave the photographs most of the space. The portfolio is organised by subject into 17 galleries, so a couple planning a wedding and a brand looking for product photography each find their kind of work in a couple of taps.
Behind it is an admin panel where the studio adds its own shoots, films, team members and services. Clients write their own reviews, and the studio approves them before they appear. Enquiries arrive by email the moment they are sent, and staff have their own logins.
We planned for speed from the start. Every photograph is resized for the screen it lands on, the fonts only include the characters the site uses, and the homepage film loads nothing from YouTube until someone presses play. Every form asks for privacy consent, and the database is backed up every night.
