Fotostudio alternative: management, website and galleries in your style
Lisa
On Pelli, you bring your website, business documents, client management and galleries together. This alternative to Fotostudio lets you present your services and manage inquiries received through your website in the same space as your clients and images.
📋 Your studio essentials, with your website and Lea in Pelli
Pelli brings CRM, documents, galleries and sales together, adding a multi-page website and Lea directly in your workspace. Fotostudio also covers CRM, documents and galleries. Fotostudio does not offer a multi-page website builder; its AI access uses a Claude connector. With Pelli, you present your services and prepare documents without adding a website builder or opening an external AI conversation.
Your photography website is part of the experience
Future clients often start by discovering your images and services. They want to understand your style, know what you offer and find out how to contact you.
Pelli includes a multipage website for presenting your business, services and galleries. You can organize this content under your own identity and use a custom domain depending on your plan.
For a photographer working in portraits and weddings, this separates the two services without separating them from the photographer's identity. Visitors encounter a consistent approach, from the public page to the gallery they will discover later.
The Pelli website form directly feeds your client management: submitting it creates or updates the CRM contact and adds a task containing the message. A service inquiry therefore finds its place in your organization without retyping contact details.

Keep documents and client management close at hand
Pelli brings together client records, quotes, invoices and contracts with signing. This makes it easier to find useful information around a service and its delivery. Prepare your quotes and invoices.
Consider a wedding photographer receiving a new inquiry during a busy editing week. They need to find the couple's details, clarify the offer and return to the file without searching through several conversations.
The sense of professionalism comes from accurate answers and consistent documents, not the number of messages sent. Our article on the role of a photographer CRM explains why this matters when several client files are progressing at once.
Prepare your documents with Lea in Pelli
On Pelli Pro and Ultra, Lea helps you prepare a quote, invoice or contract from your workspace. Describe the assignment, review the suggested details and continue working on the project. Your documents and client information stay together.
✨ A gallery that extends the way you work
The gallery is often the last important contact point in a service. Its presentation, instructions and the ease of finding images contribute to how clients remember your support.
Pelli lets you organize images into folders, collect favorites and comments, and configure access and downloads. Its content and face-based photo search also helps find a moment, an object, a color or images of a person.
In a large wedding gallery, a guest can find their photos by face. The couple can also search for a moment in the coverage without going through every image individually.
For a portrait session, feedback should lead to a clear selection. For a wedding, organization should make discovering and sharing the coverage easier without clients needing an explanation at every step.
The store can complement this journey when you sell files or products. It remains there to serve your offering and client relationship.
Organize the next steps for your client records
On Pelli, you can create tasks, assign a priority and due date, and link them to the relevant client. You keep track of quotes to prepare, replies to send and deliveries to follow up.
With Pelli Ultra, your clients request a time slot and you manage the booking in your workspace. Prepare the deposit invoice separately to track payment for the assignment.
Import your contacts to prepare your next steps
On Pelli, you can import your contacts from a CSV or Excel .xlsx file with up to 5,000 rows. A CSV template helps you prepare the columns, and no emails are sent to contacts during import. Keep your existing documents separately: this import covers contacts.
