Overview
Complete redesign of the website of an illustrator and author of children's books specializing in the creation of original images combining drawings, photographs and everyday objects. The objective of the project was to modernize the interface, improve the user experience and offer a more efficient management system for visual and event content.
The challenge
The old site no longer met modern web standards and offered a limited experience on mobile and tablet.
« The management of galleries, events and visual content also required a technical overhaul in order to improve the performance, fluidity and administration of the site. »
- Aging site and not very mobile friendly
- Complex management of galleries and content
- High loading times on media
- Limited user experience
- Lack of interactivity around books and events
The solution developed
I carried out a complete overhaul of the site by rethinking the interface, display systems and interactive features in order to offer a more immersive and modern experience.
- 01Complete overhaul of responsive design
Creation of a new modern interface adapted to all media to improve navigation and promote the artist's works.
- 02Optimization of the gallery system
Development of a new image gallery display system with advanced cache management to improve performance and loading speed.
- 03Integration of a 3D book reader
Implementation of an interactive system allowing you to leaf through books in an immersive manner directly from the site.
- 04Development of the management back office
Creation of administrative tools allowing you to easily manage albums, galleries and events from a centralized interface.
- 05Setting up statistics
Integration of a tracking system to analyze site visits and activity.
- 06Management of upcoming events
Development of a module allowing future events to be displayed and administered dynamically.
- 07Creating a personalized contact page
Design of a tailor-made contact page facilitating exchanges and visitor requests.
The project made it possible to transform the site into a modern, fluid and immersive platform further highlighting the artistic universe of the author.
Thanks to the graphic redesign, technical optimizations and new interactive features, the site now offers a much more pleasant and efficient user experience.
Testimonial
The redesign has completely modernized the site and highlights my work much better. The galleries are fluid, the rendering on mobile is excellent and reading books in 3D provides a real immersive dimension.
