New Site Launch!

Today I just launched my wife’s site after work­ing on it on and off for months. Isabelle is a very tal­ented artist-​painter and this project has been a labour of love for us :)

The design is min­i­mal­ist and the lay­out is very sparse. I wanted to put the empha­sis on her art­work where it belongs. There’s a small Flash slideshow on the right that acts as a teaser but the gallery itself is all HTML/​CSS/​JavaScript (jQuery) and fully acces­si­ble with JavaScript off.

We are still work­ing on minor text con­tent adjust­ments and I’m hav­ing issues with the jQuery val­i­da­tion script on the con­tact page in IE6. I may remove the client-​side val­i­da­tion on that page alto­gether as I do a server-​side check as well (no nicely for­mat­ted mes­sages but it works).

In any case, please visit the site at the fol­low­ing URL. As you will see, Isabelle does a lot of spe­cial order work (por­traits and other things) so do not hes­i­tate to con­tact her to dis­cuss your project.

    I like the design. It’s light, pleas­ing, very clean. Nothing super­flu­ous, it appears… Bravo! :)

    I liked very much the draw­ings of Isabelle, after I have vis­ited her site. Inspiring! She’s an artist with passion!

    Keep up the good work, both of you! Greetings! :-)

    Thanks so much for your kind words Michel. I passed them on to Isabelle and she thanks you as well. I really believe that she has a spe­cial tal­ent and I’m glad that other peo­ple can now see it.

    Thanks again! :)
