Photographer Directory for the German Market

Someone looking for a photographer faces an empty search box and does not know what to ask for. This directory asks instead — three questions, one minute, then a small, fitting shortlist.

Features

  • A three-step questionnaire instead of an empty search
  • Search by occasion, city, date and budget
  • Profiles with verified reviews, no agency fee
  • A separate area for studios: maintain the profile, receive enquiries
  • City and service pages generated from the data — the foundation of search visibility

Result

  • A directory covering 4,000+ photographers in 400 cities
  • 240 commits
  • The working name “Beste Fotografen” was changed to “FotografNah” before launch: a superlative claim in the name is open to challenge under § 5 UWG

Stack: Next.js App Router, TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL, NextAuth
