# isodesk

> isodesk is software for photographers and photography studios in India, by imastudent: a CRM for enquiries and projects, quotes from templates and GST invoices, client galleries and proofing, an album picker, print and download sales, selfie search, WhatsApp delivery and automatic culling. Hosts and event managers can also run an event free, without a studio: guest photos by QR code, invitations and posters, and an RSVP for each function.

Prices may change. Prices are in rupees; GST is added on top. Each link below is the markdown version of a page; the same page without ".md" is the HTML version. Every page in full: https://isodesk.io/llms-full.txt
