Archavio
A portfolio or a catalog, shared in one link
A portfolio and catalog platform for Archavio: people build their own site, sort their work or products into categories, and share it in one link.
The challenge
Archavio is a platform for building portfolio and catalog websites. The sites on archavio.com range from a photographer and a brand designer to a fashion store and a skin-care brand. Its users need one place to show their work or their products, sorted so visitors can browse them, and easy to share in one link.
- Photographers, designers, and students who need one place to show their work
- Shops and small brands that want a catalog their customers can browse and order from
- Sites that should be quick to build, sorted into categories, and easy to share
What we built
We built the platform in 2025: sign-up, onboarding, the editor, and the public sites. A new user verifies their email, then chooses a portfolio or a catalog. A portfolio is personal or academic, and an academic one adds the university, the field of study, the expected graduation year, and a university badge. Each user picks the address of their site, and the editor checks it is free as they type.
In a portfolio, users add a photo, a professional title, an about section, a CV to download, and up to six contact and social links. They sort their projects into their own categories, each project with a title, a description, tags, and several images. Visitors browse by category and search by text, category, and tag. Every public site is listed in the platform's sitemap for search engines.
A catalog works the same way for products, in English or Arabic, right to left in Arabic, with prices in USD or LBP. Each product has its images, tags, and stock status, and either one price or variants with their own prices. Visitors add products to a cart and check out for delivery or pickup, paying cash. The owner gets each order by email and follows it in an order history, marked complete or incomplete.
