Getting started
Meridian comes three ways. Find yours below and follow its first step.
Not sure yet? Open the Try it menu at the top of this site: Studio demo lets you click around a complete hosted studio, and WordPress demo shows the WordPress theme.
A hosted plan: Free, Sites or Studio
You signed up on this site, and your website or galleries live at an address we gave you, or at your own domain.
| Plan | Price | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 AUD | Client galleries only — up to 2 galleries |
| Sites | $16.50 AUD a month | Your website, on your own domain |
| Studio | $39 AUD a month | Your website, plus bookings, galleries, invoices, contracts and the rest of your business |
There is nothing to install. Sign in from the email we sent you, and you land in your panel. Then:
- Free — make your first gallery. See the free plan and galleries.
- Sites — choose a look and build your pages. See your website and style kits.
- Studio — take the tour of Studio, then set up money settings so clients can pay you.
When you are ready for your own address, see your domain.
Meridian for WordPress
A theme you install into a WordPress site you already run. Follow installing the theme, then the demo if you would like to start from a finished example.
You will need your licence key, which is in your order email and in your account. It looks like ABCDE-FGHJK-LMNPQ-RSTUV. See your licence key.
Meridian Presets
Thirty presets for Proofsheet, downloaded from your account. Import the zip into Proofsheet once and every preset appears. The pack also includes standard .xmp files for Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw.
The self-hosted platform (no longer sold)
If you bought the self-hosted Meridian Sites before it was retired, your download includes its guides, your licence keeps working, and support still covers it. Moving to a hosted plan keeps your pages and photographs: ask in a support ticket and we will move it for you.
A note on demo photographs
Some photographs in the demo content are generated placeholders, and the real ones are free stock photographs, not your work. Replace them all with your own photographs before you launch.
