Branding & Craft
I take on official websites for artists and brands on my own, from design and build to operation after launch. Here are the sites I have made, and the work I take on.
Placing the maker's words where they belong.
Nº 01 — Official site of a mandala artist
“A mandala that listens to the inner voice, integrating the self of now with the true self.”
The official site of an artist who draws mandalas in dots. It lets the light that rises from the dots stand out against darkness, and most of the time went into a way of opening each work large enough to see every dot.
Nº 02 — Official site of an artist
“Paintings that need no words.”
The official site of an artist who works mainly in gold-and-vermilion Japanese painting and has shown around the world. Full-screen films and her own words convey the stillness and motion in her work, with English as the main language.
Nº 03 — Official site of a glass engraver
“The seen and the unseen are both here.”
The official site of an artist who engraves lines into glass with a diamond point. Lines that vanish and return with the angle of the light are set off in lapis blue and gold, and the works are joined like constellations.
Nº 04 — Group exhibition
For a group exhibition at Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, I edited each exhibiting artist's works and path into film, through to a viewer visitors could hold on iPads at the venue: a place to meet the artists even after leaving.
Short films introducing the sites I have made. The first is this site, Dolice. They have no sound.
A single page that condenses a brand's world, designed down to type and space, delivered with smartphone optimization, SEO and OGP settings.
Sites you can update yourself, with a theme made only for your brand, never from a ready-made template.
Multi-page sites such as artist portfolios and corporate sites, designed down to how the pages connect.
I keep listening after launch and suggest improvements myself. One year of support after launch is included.
Colour, texture and detail refined by hand, one photo at a time.
Screenshots, icons and listings for the App Store and Google Play, made in many languages.
Fees are quoted according to the scope of each project. Consultation and estimates are free of charge.
Domain (your address on the internet): I handle registration, and the first year is included in the fee. I continue to handle renewals; from the second year, you pay only the renewal fee at cost.
Hosting (where the site's data lives): because I use Cloudflare Pages, many sites have no monthly hosting cost. Sites with large amounts of video or photos, or that need a system like WordPress for updating posts yourself, require a rental server; I will tell you the likely cost at the estimate stage.
Talk to me about your project
Yes. Meetings can be held online, and the case studies here include artists in distant regions.
Yes. Every case study here is bilingual, in Japanese and English.
For one year after launch I handle updates and display issues (included in the fee). If you want to update it yourself, a WordPress build is also possible.
I quote according to the scope of each project. Consultation and estimates are free, so please get in touch.
