A simple website for your work, made entirely on your iPhone. Pick your best photos, add a bio and a contact button, and publish to your own address at yourname.bordr.art. No templates to wrestle, no laptop, no code. For photographers, artists and small creative businesses: tattoo artists, florists, makeup and nail artists, ceramicists, illustrators. And because presentation matters, Bordr also gives every photo clean borders, layouts and grids before it goes anywhere. YOUR WEBSITE - Your Own Address Your site lives at yourname.bordr.art, ready to put in your Instagram bio, on a business card, or in a message to a client. - Work and About Pages Show your work in folders, and add an About page with a photo and a few paragraphs about you. - A Contact Button Let people reach you in one tap. Every photo also gets its own link that previews properly when you share it. - Layouts, Themes and Typefaces Preview your site live in the app before anyone else sees it, and with Bordr Pro choose its layout, theme and typeface. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. YOUR PHOTOS - Clean Photo Borders Adjustable thickness and a considered set of colours. The border is the whole point, so there is nothing else in the way. - Fit Any Ratio Without Cropping Put a tall photo in a square frame and let the border do the fitting. Choose the ratio you need for Instagram, a portfolio, or a presentation. - Multiple Layouts Single photos, side-by-side pairs, stacked compositions and four-up grids, in a few taps. - Saved Styles Save a border you like, then apply it to one photo or a whole selection, so a set actually looks like a set. - Private by Default The framing tools work offline, with no account and no tracking. Publishing is opt-in: it takes a Sign in with Apple, and only the photos you choose to publish ever leave your device. PERFECT FOR - Photography portfolios - Tattoo, nail and makeup artists - Florists, ceramicists and makers - Illustrators and designers - Architecture and interior projects - A link in your Instagram bio WHY BORDR? Most website builders are made for a desktop. Most photo apps focus on editing. Bordr does neither. It helps you present work you have already made, and put it online in minutes, from the phone you made it on.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Bordr at every 2 days against Keepsy's weekly. Keepsy's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
