Cornerstone Photography
Booking software that prices every job from the database, never the browser
A real estate photographer booked by agents, often for several properties at once. The booking app shows what times are free, adds up each property as the agent goes, and sends a request the owner approves, offers another time for, or declines from one screen.

Both sides of a booking, live
Not screenshots. Both are the business's own code, running here on invented agents and addresses. They run themselves. Touch either one to take over.

2. What the owner uses
What is running
What is behind the booking app
Seven mechanisms. One line each.
Every price worked out by the database
The browser shows a running total, but the request is priced again on the server from the price list in the database, and that is the figure stored. So nobody can change what a shoot costs by editing the page.
A diary that shows times, never other clients
The calendar asks the database only which times are taken. Names and addresses of other shoots never leave it. So agents can see what is free without seeing who else is booked.
Jobs sized by what is being shot
Each property's time on site is worked out from the services chosen, with a gap between jobs and opening hours that change with the season, and a second property in the same request cannot take a time the first one needs. So the times offered are ones the job actually fits.
Locked down by default
The public cannot read any table directly. They can only call a few checked functions, and agents only ever see their own requests. So the database is safe even if someone goes looking.
The agent's details come from their account
A signed in agent's name, agency and email are taken from their account, not the form, and a guest's earlier bookings only join an account once the email is proven. So requests cannot be made in someone else's name.
Limits against floods of fake requests
The database caps how many requests one email, one agent and the whole site can send in a short time. So a script cannot fill the diary with junk.
One screen for the owner's decision
Each request opens on one screen with a warning when it sits close to another shoot that day. Approve, offer another time or decline with a reason, and undo if it was a slip. So every request gets a clear answer quickly.
What this makes possible
Two sides of the same build
For the agent
- Book several properties in one go, any time of day.
- See free times and the running total before sending anything.
- Track a request with its reference, without phoning.
For the business
- Every price comes from one list, so no quote can be tampered with.
- Requests arrive complete, sized and ready to approve.
- A booking close to another shoot that day is flagged before it is approved.
Not finished
In build, not launched
The new site and booking app can be reached on the business's address but have not launched, and still use stand in photos. Some of the wording on it is still being finalised with the owner.

It can be reached, but it is not finished
Please do not send a booking request: it goes to a working business.
The business's new siteWorth saying plainly
No one client has done the whole journey yet
Every piece of it is live somewhere, and we can show you each one.
