We've worked with Houshiary to redesign and expand upon the website we first built with Houshiary in 2007.

The new website we've designed for Houshiary is based on the WordPress Content Management System (CMS) using a heavily customised HTML5 and jQuery theme, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Custom Post Types, HTML5 Full Screen API Integration, Custom Cursors, Custom Slideshow Integration, HTML5 Video Integration with Custom Player, HTML5 Event API Integration, HTML5 History Integration, and ImageMagik replacement of the standard Wordpress Image handling for colour correction.

The new Shirazeh Houshiary website also now offers visitors a Responsive Web Design (RWD) which allows for the Shirazeh Houshiary website's content to be predictably delivered irrespective of device e.g. desktop browser, notebook, tablet or smartphone.

The website's new WordPress CMS allows Houshiary's team to easily login to the Shirazeh Houshiary website to add new images, pages, and copy, to keep the website up to date with Houshiary's expanding portfolio.
