ART GALLERY WEBSITE DESIGNER SYDNEY
The owners of Aboriginal art gallery, Honey Ant Gallery, already had a website that had been developed many years ago. It was old fashioned, clunky, not mobile-friendly and definitely not optimised for a top Google and search engine ranking. See example of the original website below.
I intially worked with gallery owner, Lisa McLaren, when I did a personalised social media training course and Facebook consultancy workshop with her to teach her how to use social media to promote her gallery, exhibitions and increase the galleries exposure. It was during our consultancy session that I encouraged her to consider upgrading her website – not because I wanted extra work, but it would have been a waste of her time to promote the old website which, unfortunately, didn’t adequately represent the artworks for sale and didn’t provide an enjoyable experience for website visitors.
Lisa’s brief for the website design brief was a stylish, minimalist and clean layout. Secondly, as Lisa would be updating the website herself, it needed to have built-in content management functionality and an easy system for adding and updating the aboriginal artworks. As with all websites I develop, I did several hours face-to-face training with Lisa showing her how to manage her website and make sure all new information was optmised correctly to achieve the relevant search engine ranking.
With hundreds of aboriginal artworks featured on the website, an extensive search facility was required. Visitors can narrow down their search by size, community, artist’s name and whether the artwork can be viewed at their Sydney or Noosa gallery. A search by keyword can also be undertaken.
Finally, a blog was added so Lisa could showcase information about aboriginal art news and other topical articles that might interest visitors to the website. These also assist to expand the website’s keyword relevancy.
