About the platform

A clean foundation for artist portfolios

Making Space Four is built within the WordPress block system, so each artist joins as a member and builds a focused portfolio of ten images. The structure keeps the artwork first, with membership and profiles handled quietly behind it.

Each artist brings a different practice, and the portfolio should let the work speak in its own terms. Ten carefully chosen images give visitors a clear, unhurried way to browse each maker's work.

The architecture

How membership and portfolios fit together

Step 01

Free membership access

Paid Memberships Pro in its free version governs who can join as an artist member, keeping onboarding straightforward and accessible.

Step 02

Profiles with BuddyPress

BuddyPress provides each member's profile, giving the community structure its shape within the WordPress framework.

Step 03

Ten images with BuddyPress Media

BuddyPress Media handles uploads, so each artist assembles a portfolio of ten images of their work.
