exhibit-E & Dan Miller Design

exhibit-E & Dan Miller Design is a leading design and technology firm that provides websites for the art world. As a senior designer at exhibit-E my role was to design responsive multi-page websites using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. For print and digital materials, I managed various clients handling communications and overseeing the projects from design to production until the finished product.

Role: Senior Designer
Manhattan, New York

The Client

Gross McCleaf Gallery came to our firm looking to redesign their website. The gallery was recently under new management and they wanted the new website to be flexible for their content. The client was looking to rebrand and launch the new website before the January 2021.

Project Goals

The goal is to design a website that has flexible modules for the client to populate their content easily in their admin and have a design that is modern and minimal following their current branding. They also wanted the site be ADA compliant.

Current Website

Below is a video of the old website, that was captured using Wayback Machine (A digital web archive) to get a feel of what the website used to look like before the redesign.

Site Architecture

Mapping out the site

Our project management team meets with the client to discuss their new site structure based on their needs. Based on the contract, the client would select what level site they want us to build. For this project, the client has selected a Basic Level Site with additional features such as ennouncements, a private client room, E-commerce solution (Shopify Integration), and an online viewing room.

Design Phase

from sitemap to design

Based on the sitemap given to me, I am able to decide how I should proceed with designing and building out the admin for the client. The company platform that I work on has various templates and modules that have different functionality that caters to different types of content. For each module/section that I select I am able to customize the design using CSS & Javascript. Each design that are presented to the client are coded prototypes.

Design Approval

The client then views the design after the pages are built and populated with sample content via our platform. Gross McCleaf Gallery was very happy with new the design overall and had minor changes to the design throughout the design phase. Once they approved the design, I'm tasked with mobile styling the website to ensure that the website functions responsively and looks great on mobile views.

Final Design

Below is the final design that the client has approved. You may view the site below using the link.
