Challenge
Design a minimalistic website to showcase the artist’s work without detracting from it.
Solution
We created a contemporary, minimalistic design that allows the artist to feature each individual work of art on its own page with no distractions.
Description
Julie Bender is a pyrographer located outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Pyrography, the art of burning or scorching on a natural surface, such as wood or leather, is one of the oldest art forms dating back to cave drawings by those fascinated by the mysterious beauty and power of fire. Self-taught in pyrography, Julie’s art has evolved considerably and now her enthusiasm for this medium is matched by her accurate and artful portrayal of her animal and human subjects.
“Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for making my website dream become a reality. From start to finish, you patiently listened to all my needs and concerns and were the consummate professionals who worked hard to bring my vision to life. I know the site will be a major factor in attracting the type of clientele and collectors required to move my art career to the next level. In fact, within the first 24 hours that it went live, I received an invitation from a respected fine art gallery owner to include six pieces in her gallery! Her words were "I see a lot of artists’ websites from all over and I have never seen one so different, unique and exquisite." People's reactions are largely based on first impressions and there is your proof.
You far-exceeded my expectations by making significant improvements to my content and imagery throughout the site and those important details will play a critical role in advancing my standing as a serious artist and attracting a high caliber audience. As an artist who is passionate about her work and intent on making a full-time career of it, this website will prove an essential tool in achieving that goal.
As a longtime employee in the web and software development field, I do not recall ever coming across a more fitting solution to a client's needs. My website is itself a work of art, powered by a brilliant engine. It is a comfort to know you will always have one eye on the site, fine-tuning it as it evolves. It is an honor and pleasure to work with such bright and talented individuals as yourselves and I look forward to a continued business relationship and friendship. You are exceptional individuals with exceptional talent and are an absolute inspiration to me.”
