Switch between surfaces the way you switch between apps on a desktop. Each area is a product story, not a bullet on a long scroll.
The same media can live on your site, in embeds, and in client delivery without rebuilding three different experiences. Layouts, lightbox behavior, and storytelling tools are first-class so visitors feel the craft, not the CMS.
Layout families
Grid, immersive, and motion, with presentation built for the work.
Adaptive viewing
Lightbox modes that fit phone, desktop, and client review.
One archive
Site, embeds, and delivery pull from the same library.
Narrative, before/after, workflows, comparisons, and CTAs for this surface.
ArtInStack is a composable system. Capabilities connect the way your studio runs week to week, not as isolated product boxes.
One thread from presentation to payout to proofed finals without re-platforming at every handoff.
Portfolio & lightbox as the public face of quality.
One pipeline feeding every surface that touches an asset.
Stripe-backed commerce that composes with portals and SKUs.
Branded client rooms, access rules, and tracked engagement.
How teams actually run week to week: delegation, review, pipeline, and release.
Roles, invitations, and boundaries that scale past the founder.
Favorites, selects, and delivery policy in one branded place.
Upload → derivatives → fast delivery to pages, PDPs, and portals.
Websites & blocks publish the narrative when the work is ready.
One spine from survey media to Impact Maps and Evidence, then donation campaigns and volunteer field days under the same brand.
Upload once into the library that every surface shares.
Deployments, walkovers, and species observations on the media row.
Impact Map, Evidence of Impact, and honest place redaction on your site.
Donation campaigns and volunteer days beside the same proof.
Everything is designed to snap together so the product reads as a platform, not a website-in-a-box with bolt-ons.
Concrete seams the product removes: shared media, reusable blocks, and a content layer that keeps every surface aligned.
One media path
Upload once; portfolios, storefronts, lessons, and portals pull the same optimized assets, with fewer duplicate files and mystery URLs.
Embeds & blocks travel
Galleries, video, and lightbox patterns reuse across marketing pages, blogs, and client surfaces instead of rebuilding per channel.
Structured content layer
Directus-backed fields keep pages, promos, and snippets consistent when editors iterate, so layout stays trustworthy.
Shared UI vocabulary
Heroes, before/after, and media blocks behave as primitives, not one-off widgets, across sites, education, and merchandising.
How content, media, experiences, commerce, and client delivery stack, and how we think about security, privacy, reliability, and operations before you standardize your studio.
Photographers, studios, educators, and more. See example workflows, revenue paths, and links into implementation docs.
Photo-platform depth you’d expect beyond a template gallery: delivery, private storage, print, critique, motion, and field programs on one media spine.
Surveys and observations, Impact Maps with honest place redaction, Evidence of Impact, donation campaigns, and volunteer events share one library. The public ask inherits the same sighting and privacy judgment as the science archive.
Galleries, albums, courses, and access rules run on your subdomain, wired to the same media library and commerce spine. Delivery feels native because it is your site.
Configure products and variants, take payment through Stripe, and fulfill through Prodigi or Gelato with order status synced back to your dashboard. You see what sold and what shipped.
Team Projects attach critique to pixels on stills and moments on video, with buckets, stages, and resolvable threads that stay on the work. Shoot to delivery decisions stay where the frame is.
Create a Private portfolio when the work is client-only. Uploads land in private storage, show a lock in the library, and stay out of public page embeds. Portal delivery, downloads, and team projects use that path so marketing and client masters stay separate.
Path, arch, and wheel-style portfolio motion built for photography: intentional staging, neighbor-aware delivery, and layouts that read as a presentation.
