Overview
I created Imaginated as a platform and community for photographers with the goal of helping photographers at each level, from beginner to expert. The key features of the site includes a Camera + Lens Picker, AI Image Analysis Tool, Presets Shop, Course Platform, and Blog.
It started on WordPress but as my own development skills improved, I eventually custom-coded it using Next.js for frontend, Express for the backend, Supabase for the database, and Stripe for the payment platform.
Performing SEO, content marketing, and PPC on the site myself, it reaches 100,000 monthly users to the platform.
