Three directions for the website

Same brand — burgundy, cream, Instrument Serif and Sans — but three different attitudes. Open each one, click around, and tell me which feels most like us.

These are full working homepages, not just pictures — scroll them, hover the works, try them on your phone. The images are placeholders shown as tone blocks; the real site pulls the actual works from Airtable.

Nothing here is final. Once we agree on a direction, that becomes the design the whole site is built to.

Editorial · calm, serif-led
Direction 01

Editorial

Quiet and magazine-like — closest to our brand deck. A big serif headline, one featured work shown large, then a selection. The programme section flips to burgundy for contrast.

Feels like a gallery as an institution. It shows rather than sells.

Works-first · gallery grid
Direction 02

Gallery grid

The works fill the screen straight away, in a grid of varied sizes, with title and price appearing on hover. Least text, most art. Artists sit below as clickable names.

The most direct — a visitor sees all 111 works within two seconds.

Bold · brand-forward
Direction 03

Bold burgundy

Burgundy as the field colour, cream as the text. Confident and brand-forward, with a membership call in the middle of the page. The featured work sits in a cream panel that breaks the burgundy.

Stands out most — but leans a little more toward selling.
