Kwart Design

Full rebuild of a working artist's portfolio site, moving off a template platform onto something she owns outright.

The problem

A working artist whose portfolio lived on a hosted template platform. The work was strong and the presentation was generic, which is the usual trade when a template is making the layout decisions. Images were being resized by the platform rather than for the work.

Getting off the platform

The rebuild moves the site onto her own Cloudflare account with her own domain. That is the part that matters more than the design: when the work is finished she holds the keys, the hosting bill and the source. Nothing about her site depends on continuing to pay anybody, including us.

Designing around the work

A gallery built for the pieces rather than for a grid component. Images served at the right size for each breakpoint, colour handled properly, and layouts that let individual pieces take the space they need instead of being cropped into uniform squares.
