I designed and built a website for a local art centre whose existing site was ineffective and dated. Since the website contents will be updated regularly by volunteers, we chose user-friendly CMS WordPress with Divi builder to build the site. The design I came up with is not a template, but one I created using Divi options and additional CSS. Since a large portion of the MAC's website visitors are over 60, I did usability testing with older adults to ensure the website was set up to be easy to use even for older people. As a web designer, this was a rewarding project.
I designed a new website for a local museum, the Parksville Museum. The result is a welcoming and visitor-focused website that can be scaled-up as the museum grows. The website is practical but also stokes visitors’ curiosity in local history and the museum. I drew inspiration from three excellent large-scale websites: Nashville Zoo at Grassmere, Nashville, USA, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield, UK, and The Victoria & Albert Museum, London, UK.
Author Patrick Herzog needed a web presence to boost the promotion of his book and compliment his off-line promotions and enthusiasm for his story. The resulting website is clear and direct, putting his new book front and center.
I built a website from scratch for a relative who is a painter. The design is clean and simple, yet modern, so the visitor can focus on the artworks. I also incorporate accessible design best practices, for instance giving options for a larger text size for easier reading. The site is built using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
