Why catalogues drift
New photographers, new suppliers, new seasons and new tools each bring small differences. None is serious alone; together they make a category page look uneven, and customers read that as a less careful brand.
What holds it together
- A written style guide: crop, margins, background, shadow, colour and naming.
- A check on every batch against those rules, with a short note on anything that did not match.
- Delivery set up the way your platform and asset library expect.
- Periodic audits of the live catalogue to catch drift early.
What we need from you
Your current guidelines, if you have them, or a set of images you consider right. We turn either into written rules and share them with you before the first batch.
Automated checks, human sign-off
Some checks can be automated, such as sizes, margins and file names. Whether an image looks like it belongs to your brand is a judgement, and a person makes it before each batch leaves.
How ALT FIX helps with this
We write your image rules, check every batch against them, and deliver into your systems, so the catalogue stays one catalogue.
