The team worked with local artist Jesselin T’Kenye to develop a website for her art and workshops. The goal of the website is to showcase her work and get her pieces into local galleries.
The site will allow her to easily add more work in the future and it is going to be a tool for her growing art business.
Besides the website we created a brand identity for her since she didn't have a logo or color palette previously. We got inspiration from her art pieces getting the curves and earthy tones for her brand.
To develop her site we used Underscores as a starter theme to build the sections she needed for the site. The design of her custom theme was inspired by her art. Taking colors and shapes from her pieces we built the site as an extension of her art that allows her to market herself as a serious artist in the gallery world.
Besides the development of the website we coached our client in maintaining and adding content to the site. We customized the back-end of her site so she has easy access to every tool she needs and included video tutorials for her.
