A portfolio with a point of view
Image-led project pages, collections and captions. We plan image sizes and loading behaviour so the portfolio feels good on smaller screens.
For stylists
Your work sets the tone. Your website makes the introduction.
Give your portfolio a home that feels as considered as the work itself. We connect the images, services and booking details so prospective clients can see where they fit.

Let the portfolio lead the conversation.
The Stylist Genesis website was designed around a Sydney stylist’s editorial work. A visual presentation gives the portfolio the attention it needs.
The design lesson
Explore The Stylist GenesisStrong images introduce your taste. Clear project context and service information help a visitor decide whether to enquire.
Start with the decisions
A beautiful portfolio still needs a clear next step.
Someone may love your images without knowing whether you offer personal styling, campaign work or wardrobe advice. Your website should connect the visual impression with the practical details.
- 01
Curate for the enquiry you want
Organise work by service or project type. Give each image enough space and add concise context about your role.
- 02
Explain the experience
Help people understand preparation, session format, what is included and how pricing is discussed. Commercial and personal clients may need different information.
- 03
Collect the right details early
Ask for the occasion, timing and type of support. Make enquiries comfortable on a phone after someone discovers you through social media.
Planned together
Give the right details room to work.
Start with what visitors need. Then choose the pages, content and functionality that support it.
Services with clear boundaries
Personal styling, editorial work or commercial packages presented as distinct offers. Scope, preparation and next steps sit alongside the work.
An enquiry worth answering
A concise brief form, accessible contact details and mobile navigation. Booking tools can be included when their flow suits your service.
Scope to discuss. Lookbook libraries, advanced gallery filtering, paid appointments, additional copy and photography are scoped separately. Your image permissions and project credits remain part of the content plan.
Before we design
Start with an edit of your best work.
Bring a selection of projects, image credits and the services you want to be known for. We’ll plan how personal clients and commercial teams find the work that matters to them, and what each needs before getting in touch.

Your proposal confirms the final scope.
- Landing page + two additional pages

Bookings, stores, memberships and other integrations are quoted around your requirements. Content support, ongoing care and recurring software or hosting fees are discussed alongside the build.
Find out what your website needsCan I update my portfolio myself?
We can include editable projects or collections in the CMS. We agree the fields and image formats you need, then cover those updates in the handover.
Can the website cover personal and commercial styling?
Yes. Separate service paths can help personal clients find session information while brands and agencies explore your commercial portfolio and submit a brief.
Will large images slow the site down?
We prepare responsive images, appropriate formats and lazy loading for content further down the page. The aim is to preserve the visual quality while keeping browsing practical on mobile.
Can you connect Instagram or a booking service?
We can link to your social profile and assess booking or feed integrations. Availability, privacy behaviour and subscription costs are checked before they become part of the scope.
Do I need to show prices?
That depends on the service. Fixed packages may benefit from clear prices and inclusions; bespoke editorial or campaign work may be better served by a brief form and a scoped quote.
