A couple of weeks ago I got finished up on a project for the lovely Sarah from Yes & Yes. Sarah came to me over Christmas saying that she wanted a new website for her copywriting portfolio (and she’s a shit hot copywriter, if you’re in need of one!). Her old portfolio site was on a blogspot blog, which is great for ease of creation, but she thought it was time to make the leap to something a little more polished.
Sarah knows I’m a wordpress whizz-kid, so it was only natural that we went down the wordpress route! The brief was an easy to update website, somewhere she could add testimonials, and an easy to use contact form for potential clients.
One of the challenges posed with this project was the ratio of text to images, it being a copywriting website it’s obviously going to be pretty text heavy. I opted for a no-fuss main content area, where large chunks of text were broken up with emphasised areas and colourful bullets. The font is clean, the stand-first is, well, stand-firsty and the font size is just on the right side of large.
For that extra bit of interactivity I added in a testimonial scroller that Sarah can continue to add to, and an interesting navigation animation. I also had a little fun with some media queries, go ahead, resize the window.. neato.
Thanks so much for the fantastic work, Kim! I seriously recommend you to ev.ery.one.
Thanks Sarah! I enjoyed working on it! :)
