The Client
Midori, a Tokyo native and long-time resident of San Francisco, is well-known in the kink communities as a sexuality writer, speaker, and sex educator.
She is also a multidisciplinary artist. She travels nationally and internationally with her work, which includes performance, installation and visual art. Her work often features nudity and eroticism, and frequently incorporates aspects of shibari, Japanese rope bondage. Her productions include a commission by San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum to create an interactive party-as-performance-art as the opening night gala for a Japanese art exhibition.
The Challenge
Midori needed a responsive WordPress website to showcase her art and provide information and context for prospective galleries, buyers and the general public, on all platforms. She needed to display both still photos and video, with many interlinked pages.
The Solution
Working with Midori to format the structure of the site, I created a clean, simple look so that the focus is on her work. I customized a bare-bones WordPress theme to create a rich, content-heavy site, writing some basic CSS and HTML code. I also hired and managed a developer to create custom features such as page-specific header images and a floating menu bar. Click here for a closer view. Click here to go to the website.
