About Fabrik
Fabrik provides a specialized online platform for creative professionals to construct and manage their digital portfolios. The service is the brainchild of founders Tim Jarvis, a digital designer with over 25 years of experience, and Phil, a software engineer with more than 15 years in the field. Their combined expertise in design, user experience, and web platforms for various sectors led to the creation of a tool they and their friends wanted to use.
The business operates as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) targeting a wide range of creatives, including filmmakers, photographers, artists, designers, illustrators, stylists, and models. The core of Fabrik's offering is a website builder that simplifies the process of showcasing work. It is designed for users to go from sign-up to a live portfolio in minutes, without needing to write any code. The platform features intelligent themes that can be changed instantly without affecting the uploaded content, flexible project layouts, and seamless integration with media services like YouTube and Vimeo for video hosting.
Revenue is generated through a tiered subscription model, with plans such as Personal, Professional, and Unlimited. These plans differ in the amount of media storage, the number of portfolios that can be created, and the level of customer support provided. All plans include access to all themes, a free `onfabrik.com` domain, and the ability to connect a custom domain with free SSL security. A key selling point is its focus on the specific needs of creatives, offering features like password-protected projects for sharing work privately with clients. Fabrik's infrastructure uses a global content delivery network (CDN) to ensure that portfolio sites load quickly for viewers anywhere in the world.
