How it works

Review each inquiry before you offer a session.

You publish the service. You choose the session options. The client sees only the private proposal you create, then pays you directly.

Publish one service page

Add your studio name, featured service, location, session description, and starting-price guidance. FrameAhead does not replace proofing or gallery delivery.

Receive a standard inquiry

The client shares contact details, preferred timing, participant count, and what would make the session successful.

Review the request

Read the inquiry in your workspace. Follow up with the client directly if you need more information.

Create three session options

Choose the date, time, and location for each option. Add a deposit amount and proposal expiration.

Share the private link

FrameAhead creates a private proposal link. You copy it and send it to the client yourself.

Collect the deposit

The client selects an option and pays the deposit. The money pays out to your bank from the payment account created for your studio. You can also arrange payment outside FrameAhead.

What stays yours

Your judgment, accounts, and relationships.

FrameAhead keeps your public service page, inquiries, and proposals in one place. It is not a marketplace, a gallery-delivery system, or a claim on your creative process.

  • Your domain and public content rights
  • Your creative and client-fit decisions
  • Your calendar control and exact availability
  • Your connected payment account
  • Your client relationship and delivery workflow

Try it with one service
