Overview

An artist needed a site to reflect her style that included a way to curate a portfolio to showcase her work and sell original and printed products. She wanted something clean and simple to let the art stand out but that still reflected her style.

Strategy

The examples she found that she really liked had a left sidebar rather than a typical header going across top, so we made sure to spend some time on getting that area right.

The most important part of the site was the portfolio, but it was also important to provide a way to sell the art and other products that came about along the way. WooCommerce provided the flexibility to add the different types of products and integrate with various external services, like printing and drop shipping, as ways to explore the different ways of distributing the products.

And we suggested the newsletter subscription integration as a way for people to get updates about new shows or products. You never know who will be interested in keeping up with what you have going on!

Results

Carla has been able to try out a few different integrations, update the portfolio, and even add another social media network.

As she approaches rebranding as Carla Made This to include all kinds of great handmade goods, the website has enough flexibility to update anything while staying sturdy in the process. And we’ll be here to help along the way.

“I’m so glad I had someone to make me a website. I’m able to take it off my plate and do the things I actually like doing, and I don’t have to worry about something happening to it. And I’m able to update and make changes myself!”
