Shirazeh Houshiary WordPress Website Design

We designed Houshiary's first website in 2007, then worked with Houshiary again in 2018 to redesign and expand upon the original website.

Houshiary's vision for the website was to create an online presence as similar as possible to a real-world art gallery. We worked with Houshiary to develop a clean and simple website; designed to engage the user in a world where you find yourself slowed down to a more thoughtful pace.

Houshiary's website is developed upon the WordPress Content Management System (CMS). We developed a custom design for the website, then a ground up customised WordPress CMS and WordPress Theme to Houshiary's website's requirements. Following Houshiary's website going live; the WordPress CMS allows Houshiary's team to easily login to add new pages, images, and copy.

Houshiary's website offers visitors a Mobile First Responsive Web Design (RWD) allowing for Houshiary's website content to be optimised for mobile interaction and predictably delivered irrespective of device. The addition of custom mobile device navigation results in a highly optimised browsing experience.
