Website design for a brand-new art gallery

Aspekty Gallery in Warsaw promotes Polish contemporary art, presenting both avant-garde classics and contemporary artists through hosting shows, meetings, and workshops.

As a new spot on the local art map, the gallery needed a website that would be flexible enough to conveniently present different types of activities and allow a harmonious look when presenting different types of artworks. It was also crucial that users will quickly find info about current and upcoming events.

Elastic cms structure

Almost all of the site content comes from the CMS, so creating a rigid structure that will contain many types of future content was crucial. Working with a new entity allowed to build an elastic and interconnected CMS structure from the ground up, making use of many great features of Webflow CMS and custom JavaScript solutions. Gallery could fill in the information in dedicated collections for artists, shows, news, and artworks and then connect that data to each other.

As most gallery activities are tied to a timeline, it was critical that the site that the content would be auto-adjusting as time passes and be displayed in different parts of the website. For example, the same exhibition could be displayed in the announcement sections, featured on the homepage hero section, or in the archive – depending if its dates are in the future, present, or past.

At the end of the work, the staff was introduced to the CMS with in-person training.

Exposing artwork and anatomy

The website interface is achromatic, leaving color only for the artwork’s reproductions and photos. Layout intentionally exposes the site’s construction with horizontal lines designating sections and vertical lines grouping section content. This disciplined concept was completed by adding technical flavor with the PP Fraktion typeface.

C-suit recruitment company website – supesu.pl

Purposeful austerity

Supesu is a recruitment company realizing projects in C-suite, managerial, and legal positions. From the beginning, the redesign was excepted to reflect the no-fluff approach of the company and combine it with purposeful functionalities underneath.
The restrained design comes from the need to communicate with Supesu's target audience of executives with a professional, formal tone. As an effect, the site's visual language is built from only two ingredients: typography and space between it.

Nuts and bolts

The more complex part of the project concerned one of the central objectives of Supesu – growing its candidate database with quality data. On the site part, the contact forms are the core of this process; they were enhanced with a customized captcha and validation scripts.

To create a database I introduced the Supesu team to Airtable and Make software. The former keeps company data, allowing it to be easily browsed and filtered. The latter is automating the connection between site form and database, also branching to newsletter signup, and clearing old data.

Nearly all of the content is possible to be edited directly by the Supesu team, through webflow editor or multiple CMS collections.

During a house demolition in Lubaczów in the early 90s, a local museum worker discovered a cardboard box with thousands of black and white negatives. He saved the box, labeled it with the name of the past homeowner, Bolesław Farion, and stored it in the museum's archives. Then the photos have been re-forgotten for another 30 years until artist Tomasz Stelmaski encountered them while working on a different project with the Kresy Museum.

The images turned out to be taken by a photographer working in the Roztocze region from the 50s to the 70s. It is a rich archive that splits into two distinct parts: first, headshots of the locals, as the main focus of the Farion's studio was taking photos for documents, and second, spontaneous outdoor shots taken during community events such as dances, weddings, funerals, and others. Both parts are equally intriguing as they capture the communist Polish periphery bordering the Soviet Union, a reality vastly different from today.

Since the beginning of the work, I wanted to offer a very modern digital experience for this project, feeling that it is something rarely made for audiences outside major cultural centers. This idea has created a challenge to establish a relationship between the contemporary form of the website and the character of the presented imagery. For that, I had to determine the biggest value in sharing Farions work. He was not an excellent photographer in terms of technique, but he had something famous photographers of his time didn’t have – access and trust of the Roztocze community. In the images taken outside the studio, locals are not creating distance, the photographer is one of them.
