The INDYANASTUDIO website, photographer in Brussels
Indyana Balasse photographs in Brussels and rents out her 150 m² studio. She had images, but no address to hand out. Here is what was built, what it costs, and the two tools she keeps in her own hands. First website delivered on rental by HI-DEF.
indyanabalasse.com (new tab)The starting point
Images everywhere, no address to hand out
Indyana Balasse works in portrait, corporate, event and healthcare photography. She also rents out the INDY studio, 150 m² under a five-metre ceiling. Her photos circulated on social media. When a client asked for a link, there was nothing to send: no galleries, no services, no studio rental terms. Every enquiry went back into private messages. She needed a place that shows the work large, explains the four services and lets people get in touch without going through a platform. In French and in English: in Brussels, part of the corporate enquiries come in English.
What was built
Six pages, eight galleries, two languages
The site is live at indyanabalasse.com. Black background, serif type, full-screen images: the photograph comes before the interface. Light theme or dark theme, the visitor chooses. The “Color Your Life !” signature opens the home page. The eight galleries sit under Explore and each one can be viewed on its own, so every visitor finds their own case without reading a paragraph. The studio page lists the equipment on site: three-metre backdrop, adjustable natural light, softboxes and flashes, tripods, make-up corner, wifi and sound system. The contact form shows +32 484 24 22 23 and offers newsletter sign-up.

What stays in her hands
The dashboard and the newsletter stay with her
Two tools come with the site, at a private address only Indyana knows. The first counts visits without cookies and without Google: unique visitors, activation, retention, referral, most-viewed galleries, journeys, where sessions come from. The second runs the newsletter: subscriber list, building a campaign (subject, category, cover photo, message, button), email preview before sending, delivery to all subscribers, automatic unsubscribe. She uses them without going through HI-DEF.
