Client Brief

David Brackston is a landscape artist working in the South West of the UK. He also takes commissions of portraits and reception art to be displayed in business locations. David required a website which could be easily updated and would act as a brochure for his work. He wanted a striking look with simple navigation but had no existing corporate style.

The Solution

TNC (IT Solutions) Ltd created a clean design and constructed a simple navigational structure to display David’s art work. The website has a management console which allows the creation of galleries to display the pictures and a section to upload images and allocate them to the galleries. Any image can also be added to the recent work gallery which enables David to highlight any images added recently.

Once the design of the website was approved the website was created on the ASP.Net platform using html and CSS, with an access database to hold dynamic content.

Features

The David Brackston website included a number of features which can be accessed via a management console. These include:

Galleries – The management console can be used to add or remove galleries to the website. The gallery can have a description which outlines the content of the gallery.

Pictures – The management console can be used to upload new images to the website and allocate these to one of the galleries. Pictures also include information such as a brief description of the work, cost, size of the picture and whether the picture is for sale or has already been sold. The image is displayed as a thumbnail and a more detailed view by clicking on the image.

Sitemap – A dynamic sitemap has been provided to ensure that any new pages that are created are automatically added to the sitemap

Additional Services

David decided that with the new management console he had sufficient tools to manage this website himself.
