Hawker Studios.
In 2026, Hawker Studios — a Gold Coast natural light photo studio with two Currumbin Waters locations — approached Rankify to rebuild their online presence. The goal was to create a fast, intuitive booking experience that let creators see the studios, check availability, and lock in a session in minutes, not back-and-forth emails.
Challenges
The old site made booking feel slow and uncertain. Creators couldn't get a real feel for the spaces, availability was unclear, and the path from "this looks cool" to "I'm booked in" had too many steps.
For a studio doing 500+ shoots a year across two locations, the booking flow had to be effortless — and the spaces had to sell themselves before anyone clicked book.
Final thoughts
The new Hawker Studios site is the front door to two of the Gold Coast's best creative spaces — built for creators who want to book fast and shoot faster.
For us at Rankify, this project was a chance to strip the friction out of a booking experience and let the studios do what they do best: look beautiful in natural light.
