Responsive design and build
Overview
After outgrowing his previous website, kevin needed something more modern and flexible that would allow him to showcase his award-winning photography and promote his services. Following analysis and research, sketches and high fidelity designs, I worked with Kevin to create a stunning, yet simple website featuring Kevin’s many award-winning images and his unique talent.
Kevin’s previous site was not responsive, he wanted the photographs to be larger with a ‘magazine’ feel, “It’s all about the photos”, said Kevin describing how wanted the site to feel.
Process and challenges
I incorporated a large gallery style hero area, with horizontal and vertical image scrolling. The homepage featured a large feature area focusing on Kevin’s Fellowship award, displaying the photographs and press article. I used an image pre-load widget to reduce delay page load due to the amount of large images to be loaded.
Involvement
- Website re-design
- Responsive custom site build (HTML/CSS)
- Integration of third-party CRM toolset
I started with some initial ideation sketches and a user flow map, so I could work through the content on each page. After producing the user flow map I was able to construct the necessary individual pages and ensure each page had a clear visual continuity. I took these sketches and turned them into digital prototypes to gather some feedback from Kevin on the ‘look and feel’ of the site.
Outcome
Kevin was delighted with his new website, he is frequently complimented on its design and ease of use. The site has since expanded to his mentoring case studies and their portfolios. Kevin continues to win awards, his 2023 Fellowship is to be added soon.
