Case Study: Framesuit
Framesuite is an online platform for photographers to get their photos framed and delivered to them in HD. The client, Megan DiPiere is a portrait photographer herself and understands the importance of getting pictures printed and delivered to her in the exact quality she clicks them so her customers can get beautiful wall hangings.
Problem Statement
The client is a businessperson and didnʼt understand the technicalities of revamping systems. After discussion with the client, we understood that they have 4-5 existing systems that came under the same domain and had a process flow that needed to be revamped; customers go on the platform, sign up, pay the amount and only add images in defined frames/canvases. Their system lacked custom configurations and third party integrations to help the client deliver clean, HD pictures to their customers.
Possible Solution
First, we provided the client with a project coordinator, who helped them understand how their system works right now and what they can do to make it according to their business needs. After discussion with the client, We built a PHP based web application on their existing system and customized it using laravel framework and javascript.
Frame Preview
We then build a frame preview for them. It allows the viewer to see images in a frame. Photographers can adjust their pictures on the frame with the right sizes, style and presentation. We added system configurations such as ;
- Check out process
- Custom edits of frames and images
- Third Party Integration

Results
Our primary focus with Framesuite for now is the addition of “wall arrangements” functionality. Future plans are usually derived by clients and customer needs which unfold as and when new business requirements arise. With this business model, many new possibilities could appear in the new future where people are looking for convenience services more and more everyday.
Future Plans
The client was satisfied with the solution that was provided. Weʼve now started working on Phase-2 which focuses on wall arrangements. Initially, the client started with a Fixed Price Model but theyʼve opted for our Team Augmentation Mode.
