Matt Brown Fine Art
Background
Matt Brown is both an artist and a gallery owner. I met Matt through his beautiful intricate Japanese-style woodblock prints of the mountainous places I hold dear. He was looking for a new website for the gallery he owns and operates, Matt Brown Fine Art in Lyme, New Hampshire. The gallery features many local artists, from printmakers to painters to furniture builders. It was a joy to work with Matt to build a beautiful custom website that allowed him and his team to manage inventory and update content themselves.
Scope
- Static Website with Headless CMS
- Airtable Integration
- Responsive Web Design
- UX + UI
I built the Matt Brown Fine Art website using the static site generator Gatsby to create a wicked fast and optimized web experience. I chose Prismic for the CMS which allowed Matt and his team to update all the photos and text content as they pleased. Additionally, I used Airtable to source the Artwork and Artist information which allows Artists to submit their own works to the gallery and allows Matt and his team to view inventory information easily. The site is hosted with and uses Netlify as a continuous deployment tool.
Newsletter Signup
Static sites are lightning fast and very secure, but they often don't lend well to collecting user information. I used Mailchimp's Gatsby integration to create a Newsletter signup form to allow Matt to reach his gallery's audience.
