Connecting the site to the studio.

As we built the Pynk Portal website, our design decisions were not only influenced by the studio’s brand, but the space itself. Our goal was to capture how it feels when you step inside The Portal; we refrenced the studio’s paint scheme, neon signage, and welcoming vibe site-wide, helping the business provide a consistent experience from online to in-person.

Project Overview
Company Mission To be a sanctuary for all marginalized communities.
The Challenge Initially, Pynk Portal used Acuity Scheduling as its main website. While this allowed the studio to take online bookings, the co-founders wanted a space where they could showcase instructors, events, answer questions, connect with new people, and highlight the studio itself.
Our Collaboration Working with co-founders Ava V. Marie and Gemini Jynxxx, we built a website that felt like an extension of the studio and allowed them to easily update content and connect with new (and returning) students.
