Website Design & Digital Archives
for Artists and the Arts
Custom websites for artists, authors, collectors, estates and arts organizations. Start with the website you need now; add private archiving tools when you need them.
More than a portfolio
We begin with a beautiful custom-designed portfolio website that will meet your presentation goals. But to save you from one day finding your body of work has grown large and hard to manage, we’ll also help you think through questions about how your website can support years of growth and change:
~ For whom does your work need to be structured and positioned?
~ How can your website support both public and private needs?
~ What will you need to manage growth five years from now?
To make your future life easier, we build in generous capacity for archival information about every work—and for some clients, that's all that's needed. But with that solid foundation, the website can be extended with advanced artwork management and archiving tools at any time.
The website—including any archiving tools added to it—are fully custom, entirely yours, and designed to grow over time.
Who This Is For
-
Artists & Authors
Artists, writers, and others with a growing body of work who need a website that not only presents their work but keeps it all organized and accessible over time.
-
Collectors & Estates
Private collectors, and the executors responsible for an artist's estate, who need the holdings well documented to maintain the legacy and value of the work.
-
Organizations & Archives
Galleries, non-profits, foundations, and small professional practices that need to present and manage complex information in a clear and lasting way.
Some Recent Projects
Website Design for a Collage Artist
A website built as a calling card for an established collage artist—designed to take any new acquaintance from an immediate visual impression of five decades of work through to the publications, interview, and professional history that place it in context.
website design & archiving for an artist
We designed this artist website with a long-scrolling homepage that allows a visitor to quickly see the range of the artwork in the context of the full career.
We also developed the website with a private archiving functionality behind the public website—allowing the managers to access and edit archival material relating to each artwork.
website design for a therapist
We designed this website with a nature-themed look and a subtle focus on purpose-driven, creative lives to attract clients with whom the therapist works best.
website design for a jazz-pop vocalist
A one-page website for a jazz singer—videos, recordings, and photography in a sequence that lets fans and booking agents listen, watch, and get a feel for the room.
website design for an art consultant
We designed this website for an art consultant establishing her own business after a career at Sotheby's. Being a startup, there wasn't a large portfolio of client projects, so we embedded the Instagram feed to showcase the consultant's range of contemporary art picks from the gallery and auction house market—providing an alternate fresh sense of the consultant's aesthetic and network.
website design for a scholar and author
We designed this website to showcase both the scholarly and field work of a renowned environmental scientist when she was looking to make a new career move. A few months after the website's launch the client had an important new fellowship and shortly after that, she was offered the position of Research Director at an important non-profit aligned with her work.
website design for a stained glass and public art designer
The client had an existing website that was slow-loading and he wanted a new website that would be fast-loading, easy to find on search engines and also easy to update.
We designed a new website that is coded to function more efficiently and also communicates his expertise more clearly for his target clientele.
Visits to the website and time spent on the website by people searching for the kind of work he does have increased dramatically.
