Heritage Lens
Founder-owned project Hand-coded · One page
A photography studio site that shows the work first and makes booking a shoot straightforward.
The brief
Heritage Lens is my photography studio in Mauritius, covering villas, hotels, weddings, events and portraits. Visitors needed to see the work quickly, understand what each shoot includes, and get in touch without friction.
My role

Design decisions
One page with five clear stops
Visitors need to reach any part of the site, and booking, without hunting for it.
Everything sits on a single page, reached from a short anchor menu: Portfolio, About, Services, Films and Contact. A Book Now button stays in the header, so the next step is always one tap away.
A portfolio filtered by type of shoot
A villa owner and a couple are looking for very different work.
The portfolio opens near the top of the page. Filter buttons for real estate, portraits, hotels, nature, weddings and events let a villa owner or a couple see only the work that is relevant to them.
Services that say what’s included
Visitors want to know what a shoot covers before they ask for a quote.
Each service lists what the shoot covers, how long it runs, how many edited photos are delivered and a “from” price. Visitors can judge whether it fits before they enquire.
A form and WhatsApp, side by side
Some people prefer a form; others would rather send a message.
The contact section offers two routes. The enquiry form asks for the type of service and a preferred date, so the first reply can be specific. For people who would rather message, WhatsApp is right next to it.
A wordmark and an aperture mark
The studio needs a mark that people recognise, even at favicon size.
The header uses a script wordmark. The favicon is a simple aperture mark that stays legible at 32 pixels in a browser tab.
