A portfolio-first website for Precious Diamond Media
Precious Diamond Media Ltd is an independent photography and media business in Leigh, Greater Manchester. Exibify designed and built a website that lets the pictures lead and makes asking about a commission easy.
The Project
About Precious Diamond Media Ltd
The business photographs life's celebrations, meaningful portraits and growing brands. It offers five areas of work: weddings, portraits, events, family sessions and commercial imagery. Every commission is handled personally, from the first conversation to the final images, and its work includes studio portraits, richly coloured traditional dress and festive family scenes. The studio is at Church Street in Leigh, and clients can reach it by phone, email or Instagram.

The Brief
What the website needed to do
Photography clients decide with their eyes and their instincts. The site needed to put strong imagery in front of visitors immediately, show the range of work without feeling scattered, and convey a personal, unhurried way of working. It had to treat a family session and a commercial brief equally seriously, and give every page a visible way to make an enquiry. It needed to load comfortably on phones, where many couples first browse.
Our Approach
How we designed and built it
- 01
The homepage opens with an auto-advancing slideshow of three series, with a pause control for accessibility, and the line your most precious moments, beautifully captured. A short welcome explains the personal nature of the business before the five services are introduced in a numbered list, each with a one-line description.
- 02
The portfolio is curated rather than exhaustive. Three named series, Studio Portrait Series, Colour & Tradition and Love, Hope & Joy, each give a feel for style and subject. Keeping the selection small lets each series carry weight, and links lead to fuller galleries.
- 03
A three-part approach, listening, planning and capturing, describes how a commission unfolds. Make-an-enquiry buttons appear in the header and throughout, leading to the contact page, and an optional newsletter sign-up offers occasional updates. Soft typography and a light palette keep the focus on the photographs.
