Like many people in his position, Jakob had sunk hours into messing around with free and DIY options online which delivered neither the functionality he required, nor the professional presentation which he envisioned for his business.
Client: Jakob Ferrier is a professional photographer working in Portland, Oregon.
Project Description: Custom web design optimized for Jakob’s photography portfolio including dramatic splash page, side-by-side sliding gallery, domain email, and content management system deployed on a cloud server.
The Inside Scoop
Jakob’s situation was one in which many artists and entrepreneurs find themselves as their careers bloom: he needed a website that was easy to update, simple to maintain, low on overhead, and distinctive in design.
Like many people in his position, Jakob had sunk hours into messing around with free and DIY options online which delivered neither the functionality he required, nor the professional presentation which he envisioned for his business.
As a professional photographer, Jakob eschewed the limitations of standard image slider options, desiring instead a side-by-side scrolling gallery to showcase his work. Above all, he required a minimalist, no-frills design that would keep visitor’s eyes immersed in his photography.
My Favorite Part
The splash page with its smooth fade-in to Jakob’s work—so dramatic.
