website design for artists, craftspeople and small businesses

latform
provides creative, contemporary and very individual approaches to web design for artists, designer-makers and the creative industries.

Highly visual, each website is individually created to capture the quality of working being shown. It is a collaborative approach to design that has an understanding of the art making process at its core. Each design is unique, created without templates, and results from a dialogue between artist and designer. Time is built into each web project to gain an understanding of the work and ideas being shown so that a considered and thoughtful design can be created.

Based in Edinburgh and established in 2002, platform is run by designer and maker, Rosy Naylor. Rosy has a background in contemporary art practice, audience development and arts promotion, bringing an informed approach to the design of each website, one that is perfectly tuned to the arts sector. The design style is one of clarity, simplicity and originality.

platform has developed a client base in recent years across the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada. Features of many of the sites include: sound and video clips, animations, fading in graphics, feedback forms, as well as online shops. With it a sophisticated yet highly functional and personal website is created. Inclusive within all web projects is a comprehensive site stats monitoring facility and google keyword search engine optimisation. Flexible and staggered paying structures exist as do the ability to work to specific deadlines. Assistance with funding applications can also be provided.

platform's taster service is a web design facility particularly suited to start-up artists and recent graduates, ideal for those wanting a contemporary web presence, but not requiring the full size of a professional artists website. They consist of four pages including a small gallery, which can later be added to when required. For further information about the taster sites please get in touch.

Not only about websites, platform can also design complimentary marketing materials to match your website look such as business cards, letterheads, adverts, leaflets and blog pages.
