Eleva CRM for Photographers

Eleva is a standalone WordPress plugin that provides a modern React-powered CRM dashboard for professional event photographers, without any monthly subscription fees.

Features

• Customer Management: store couples and individuals with multiple contacts per client. Full backend search across all custom fields. Each customer page shows a linked Works table with totals (total price, paid, unpaid).
• Service Catalog: define your services and base prices. Override price and notes per project.
• Works / Projects: the central hub linking customers, services, attached files, and payment installments. Total Price and payment installments tracked per project.
• Payment Tracking: track deposits and balances. Automatic paid/partial/unpaid status assigned from installments.
• File Vault: attach contracts and files to any project. Protected storage with .htaccess and REST-gated downloads.
• Vault Security: AES-256 encryption protected by a master password and TOTP two-factor authentication. All personally identifiable data is encrypted at rest. Even direct database access reveals only ciphertext.
• Dashboard: summary cards showing annual revenue, upcoming events, and unpaid balances. Next five upcoming works.
• Quick Notes: a dedicated WYSIWYG notes field on each Work, positioned above the main notes editor, for short reminders visible at a glance.
• Calendar Color: choose an event card color (12-color palette) on each Work.
• Monthly Calendar: a full monthly calendar view showing all scheduled works as colored pills. Click any entry to see a detail popup with date, customer, payment status, and a link to the work.
