GalleriMDA website transformation was an extensive project requiring integration of the functionality requested by the client, who desired to combine modern minimalistic design, search engine optimization, ease of access and simple management. The site’s security, high availability and support are provided by the LocalWebHub Pro Hosting.
Below are some of the highlights of the design requirements, implemented per customer request:
Modern Design For Galleri MDA
Galleri MDA is an established art gallery, based in Helsingborg, Sweden. It is widely know for featuring very prominent European artists, such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and many many others, with frequent exhibitions across Europe. The owner of the gallery requested a complete overhaul of the existing and outdated website, with an emphasis on search engine optimization and ease of management of the content.
Creating a professional presentation was crucial, as was integrating the functionality desired by the client. In the image to your left you can see the screen capture taken of the old site, which you can compare to the current version designed by the LocalWebHub professionals.
Custom Featured Artists Slideshow On The Home Page
The custom “Featured Artists” slideshow visible on the homepage is designed to attract attention to the chosen subset of portfolios. The simplistic and airy hover-over functionality was designed to the exact specifications of the client and is managed via a simple-to-use user interface .
Custom Navigation For Galleri MDA
Ease of access to the large number of hosted portfolios was one of the most important aspects of the design. The intuitively-alphabetized drop-down menus and animated sorting of the categories are some of the many custom-made features that contribute to seamless navigation and improved visitor experience.
Other Custom Functionality
Galleri MDA were very specific in both the design of the customer-facing front-end as well as the backend website management features. Here are some of the examples of customizations created specifically for this one-of-a-kind website:
- Creation of custom artwork classification attributes for sorting and display
