A practical studio workflow
Photo Gallery Trial: Define Success Before Upgrading
Decide what a successful trial should demonstrate: the client opens the gallery, makes a clear selection and receives the intended files.

The practical answer
Decide what a successful trial should demonstrate: the client opens the gallery, makes a clear selection and receives the intended files. A signup alone tests none of that.
A photographer creates a free gallery but never sends it to a client. There is no evidence yet that the service fits the working process.
Put it into practice
A three-step working sequence
- 01
Choose one active or sample shoot
Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.
- 02
Send specific selection instructions
Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.
- 03
Verify the picks and download on another device
Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.
Worked handoff
A concrete example
Use a small portrait set and ask one person to choose three photos. Then deliver those three finished examples and have them confirm download. You have tested a business outcome rather than merely the ability to upload.
Keep the record
Your project worksheet
Trial gallery, client task, selection result, download result, unresolved issue, upgrade decision.
Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Where clientgallery.io fits
ClientGallery is built around branded galleries, client proofing and delivery, with a Lightroom Classic workflow. Review the current plan and optional storage services separately. If print fulfillment or a complete business-management suite is central to your studio, test those requirements explicitly.
Product reference: the existing clientgallery.io workflow guide. The scenarios and worksheets on this page are illustrative editorial examples, not customer testimonials.
Make the next step concrete
Test it with one real project.
Check the client handoff, then choose the plan that matches the work you need to deliver.
