Website for Multi artist
I have created a WordPress site for a struggling multi artist, Lotte Wieslander.
The main thought was that the site needed to be clean and clear, so that the design does not overwhelm the works.
The project is ongoing as the artist has to deliver many images of her work display on the site. She also wants to write the descriptions for the pages herself.
Background and needs
Lotte is a multi artist, writing, painting, etching, sculpting and singing. She also writes thoughts and articles - for which she needs a blog. She needs to display her work to have a possibility to promote herself and possibly sell something. So there also needs to be a way to contact her
How I did it
Being an artist she is not a tech person and handling the blog must be easy. So, a WordPress site on a low price ISP is good enough.
I selected a very clean template and let the works speak for themselves. I then discussed with Lotte to define what categories should be used to display the works.
Top categories are Art, Music, and Books. The Art category is subdivided in several under categories which are either by technique or in some cases a specific collection. Music section mainly tells the story of Svarta Ada, the band were she was lead singer in the 80-s and also have the music available for listening. She has published one book - so far. There is also a standard WordPress blog.Site is not "ready" as a lot more content should be added.
