A calm, trustworthy web presence for an Islamic memorial garden: the grounds, the facilities, a gallery, and how to get in touch. The design came from the owner. My part was the front end: I built the whole interface from their design.
The challenge
The owner already had the design and the brand. What they needed was someone to turn it into a real, working site: a build that matches the design faithfully, stays calm and fast despite heavy photography, and holds up on the phones most visitors use.
The approach
The visual design was the owner's; my job was the front end. I focused on a faithful build: matching the layouts, type, and spacing, keeping the photo-heavy pages fast, and making sure everything held together on mobile. The interface stays out of the way so the owner's design reads as intended.
Key decisions
- Implemented the owner's design faithfully, down to spacing, type, and pacing
- Kept the image-heavy pages fast with optimized, lazy-loaded photos
- Built mobile first, since most visitors arrive from a phone in a quiet moment
- Left the visual and brand decisions to the owner; my scope was the front end
