Challenge
The website was intended for a well known Hotel, resort, architectural and Interior photographer based in Sri Lanka who had a basic website to represent his work. The website only had a portfolio page with his beautiful shots and a very small "About page."
Solution
This was a passion project to provide him with a brand new website that's custom designed so that it stands out from it's current template look along with other improvements in terms of content to better reach out to his customers through the website. Which brought in a "testimonial page" and a "FAQ" page into the picture along with a more interesting "About" page.
I designed a brand new website in Figma, inspired by architectural nature of the site, with a solid foundational grid and warm cream tones to create a grounded atmosphere and then brought the website to life on Webflow.
Design Direction
The design direction for the website was inspired by the nature of the clients the photographer was working with which happens to be some of the best hotels and resorts in the country within the hospitality field and well known interior designers. So a harmonious blend of structure and charm, guided by clean lines, balanced spacing, warm neutrals, and gentle yet welcoming interactions that echo the precision of architecture and the inviting nature of hospitality photography and the photographer himself.
