Customized Movable Type Web Design

Client projects and tech blog posts about Customized Movable Type

Elisabeth Olver ArtistElisabeth is a painter and artist who specializes in original acrylic paintings and giclee prints of nature and South Jersey beach scenes. Her existing site was attractive, but it didn't have online ordering and she wasn't able to update it herself.

We put together a features list and then went through a round of concept screenshots which I built in Adobe Fireworks and Photoshop (you can see our work here!). Design in hand, I built a customized Movable Type site. A specialized template allows her to enter information about the each piece: medium, theme, price and the URL to it's image (most of which are hosted on Flickr). Movable Type pulls these together into various category and individual art pages, with automatically-generated Paypal "Buy" buttons for available pieces. We stressed search-engine visibility so there are many categories and they all cross-link with each painting.

Professional journalist James Maguire came to me with an existing site built in Movable Type. I'll redesigned the navigation, creating customized sidebars that changed according to the category. He's done great stuff with his site and it's well worth looking through. Favorites of mine: his video appearances on talk shows and his 100 Books Worth Reading list.
