The problem

de Chord Studios Private Limited is a photography studio in Chindadripet, Chennai, led by its founder and CEO, Gopi Gnanadeesigan. It shoots a wide range of work, from weddings, portraits, kids and birthdays to product, food, interior, fitness, corporate, dance and fashion photography, and the business also presents other ventures, including a dance strand called Feetz. Its clients range from couples and families to businesses that want product or corporate pictures, and each arrives looking for one particular kind of shoot. They want to see the studio's work in that area before deciding. The website had to let each visitor go straight to the work that matches their need, see enough of it to judge the studio, and then contact the team.

What we built

We built the site as an image-led portfolio. The home page opens with a 27-image slideshow of the studio's work, then gives each of eleven photography types, products, portraits, weddings, birthdays, kids, food, interiors, fitness, corporate, dance and fashion, its own panel with a short description and a link. Each category page introduces that kind of shoot and leads to a dedicated gallery; the wedding page, for example, speaks directly to couples about candid, pre-wedding and post-wedding photography before linking to the wedding gallery.

A Categories menu brings these pages together with the studio's other ventures, including Feetz, its dance page. About Us explains the studio's approach and that it often travels to shoots, and Teams introduces the founder and leadership team. The home page also carries a client testimonial and an email sign-up for updates. The Contact Us page sets out the Chennai address, email and phone number beside an enquiry form, and the footer links to Behance, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram profiles.
