The Challenge
Build a simple website that’s like a fine art gallery.
The Goal
Display artist Erik Sletten’s artwork in a way that feels like the viewer is seeing it on the wall of a gallery.
What We Did
- Designed a logo that incoporates a neon light from the studio.
- Build a website that can scale for the future.
- Create a simple navigation structure for each image.
- Protect images from copying.
The Results
Sletten Studio’s website is like the wall of an art gallery, with lots of white space that helps focus visitors’ attention to each piece of artwork. One of the requirements was that each piece of art needed to be displayed in its entirety so care was taken to ensure that each image was correctly sized to display correctly on any device. Another requirement was protection of Erik’s intellectual property so anti-copying plugins were added to prevent easy duplication of images by visitors.
“Working with Rhys at Blue Spec to design my website was a great experience. He did an awesome job of interpreting my thoughts and ideas into a site that simply and beautifully displays my artwork. He was professional and quick to respond to my requests. It felt as if I was truly collaborating with someone who understood my vision.”
