Capturing Moments: Transforming BlueStock into a Leading Location-Based Photography Platform
Bluestock Images empowers photographers to digitally exhibit their work based on popular locations.
What is Bluestock and what have they managed to do before approaching Xynthia?
Project Background
BlueStock is an innovative web application designed for photographers to capture, upload, and share photos based on specific geographic locations.
This platform is designed to foster a vibrant community of photography enthusiasts, professionals, and hobbyists, allowing them to explore new locations, showcase their work, and connect with like-minded individuals.
What is Bluestock?
Geo-Tagging: Photos are automatically tagged with their exact locations, making it easy for users to browse and discover images based on specific places.
Interactive Maps: Users can explore an interactive map to see photos taken at various locations around the world, helping them find inspiration and new shooting spots.
Location-Based Tagging
Why did Bluestock need my help, and why did they reach out?
The Problem
Why did Bluestock need extra help?
Requiring photographers to manually input location data for each photo.
This manual process was cumbersome and often resulted in inaccuracies, impacting the reliability of location-based searches and displays.
Potential customers were discouraged from browsing and purchasing, leading to high bounce rates and lost sales opportunities.
Engagement Deficit
Minimal Social Features: The platform lacked robust social features that are crucial for building a community and encouraging user interaction.
Performance Issues: The app experienced slow load times and frequent bugs, impacting overall usability and user satisfaction.
Website Design Process
Comprehensive consultation
Through open dialogue and active listening, I ensure that I grasp not only the surface-level requirements but also the underlying motivations and aspirations driving the project.
Setting up resources
I also focus on securing the necessary tools and technologies to support the project. This involve investing in Figma software, and WebFlow for no code deployment designs that will enable the team to work efficiently.
Delivery and revisions
I prioritize transparency and communication during this phase, providing regular updates on the progress of revisions and seeking clarification or further input as needed.
“One of Xynthia's standout qualities is her ability to present project ideas in a comprehensive and accessible manner. She meticulously analyzed our competitors, identifying strengths and weaknesses that informed her strategic design choices. This competitive analysis was crucial in developing a website that not only meets but exceeds market standards.”

Creating Trust
I prioritized clear and transparent communication. This included providing accurate and up-to-date information about our products or services, as well as clearly outlining our company's mission, values, and policies.
Product FAQs
Designed a dedicated FAQ section to enhance the overall user experience by providing easy access to relevant information. Instead of having users to search through multiple pages or contact customer support.
Digital Marketing
Created limited-time offers, discounts, & promotional packages to incentivize potential clients to work with us. Share these promotions on my client’s social media channels to generate excitement and urgency among your followers.
