Overview
Overview
Overview

Mudit Sharma is an artist who majorly works with photography, analogue mediums and crafts. He also runs Sandook, an archiving service brand.

The brief was to design and build a website on Editor X which would have two sections:

  1. Mudit Sharma — a personal portfolio

  2. Sandook — a separate space for the archiving service brand

Each section needed to have its separate identity, but should also feel like a cohesive experience.

There should also be provision to add a 'Shop' section later.

BEFORE

The old website was built on Wix, a non-responsive web-building platform. The website had a vertical menu on the left which listed all the projects, an image slider in the center displaying the images from a project, and a text block on the right showing the project name and a description.

Each project page was built manually. The vertical menu on the left was a list which had to be updated on every project page every time a new project was added. Also, since the website was not responsive, it looked very small in large displays.

Old websites pain points
  • Each portfolio page has to be built individually.

  • For each new work added, the menu had to be manually updated in every page. The higher the number of works, the more pages to be updated.

  • Did not scale to screen size. Looked bad on bigger screens.

  • Not optimized for mobile viewing.

Issues with templates
  • Lack of options on the platform

  • All templates are similar looking

  • Custom solution needed for the two independent sections: (1) Mudit Sharma, (2) Sandook.

AFTER

The new website is built on Editor X, a responsive web-building platform by Wix. This was the platform of choice as it shares similarities with the Wix editor which the client was familiar with.

This new website uses CMS to display the portfolio items. To add a new work to the portfolio, the user simply has to open the respective database, create a new item, and input all the details into the fields.

Being responsive this website adjusts itself perfectly to every screen size.

The website has two independent sections with their own visual identities. It also has provision for a shop section.

Mudit Sharma’s work uses a lot of white spaces. He uses very few tools to produce his work, often occupying a small space in a clean and tidy room. This inspired the colour palette for this section, with a lot of white and minimal use of black and grey.

Being an archiving service, Sandook works with a lot of old material, like old documents, notes, photographs etc. The colour palette for this section takes inspiration from old, yellowed paper.

Since Sandook deals with old, valuable objects, it required a treatment to represent that. Prata, a high-contrast display serif typeface complements Satoshi to bring a richer look to the Sandook section.
