Poente — family and lifestyle photography, booked for the best light of the day

Demo design and interactions

The demo uses sample data. In the template, bookings, payments and accounts are simulations. The other options describe what really works in them.

• Website template: bilingual website with the meadow at four hours of the day, the sessions as stages of a life, full-screen stories and a four-step booking request that shows the chosen day's light and prepares the message for WhatsApp, e-mail or Instagram; no saved requests and no payments.
• Website set up and hosted: we set the template up with your content, make the adjustments you ask for before it goes live and host it at no extra cost; the domain is paid separately.
• Website + custom backend: the template and, after your purchase, an admin area we build for you, with sessions, stories and prices edited from a panel, requests and their dates on a board, and a private gallery for each client, where the family sees, picks and downloads its photographs; delivered in about 10 business days after we receive your content. Includes the adjustments and personalisations you ask for and hosting at no extra cost; the domain is paid separately.
• Website + online payments and store: the same, with the session deposit and the prints and albums paid online (Stripe or MB WAY). Set up, adjusted and personalised by us and hosted at no extra cost; the domain is paid separately and the payment provider account and fees are yours.
• A sun you drag across the day: the same meadow in the morning, at noon, at golden hour and at blue hour, with today's times worked out in the browser for the studio's town.
• Nine sessions laid out as the stages of a life, from the couple to the grandparents, each with its light, length, what it includes and its “from” price.
• Session stories that open full screen, photograph by photograph, with an “I'd like one like this” button that carries that story into the request.
• The usual doubts (“we freeze up”, “the youngest won't keep still”) answered with proof; an album with the family's name on the cover and a print hung on a wall to scale, as canvas, framed or aluminium.
• A family loyalty card, a drawn map of the places with each one's light, a gallery with filters and a large view, and in the request the golden hour and sunset for the chosen day and place.
• Photographs of a meadow with a swing, footprints on a beach at dusk, wellies by a door, a crib, a first-birthday cake, a baptism candle, a porch with two chairs and a cork album, made in 3D for this template, free of rights.
