Big Sky Retreat Website
Overview & Challenge
Big Sky Retreat, a not-for-profit created for people to explore their non-secular spiritual journeys, hired me to design a mobile-friendly, responsive website for their annual retreat. I had designed a number of websites for the organization over the course of many years. This particular design presented an open and inviting design with large photos of Big Sky, Montana, and cool, calming colors and typefaces.
Audience
General public looking to explore their non-secular spiritual journeys.
Approach
As with all website work I do, the project starts with a thorough site audit to ensure navigation and page hierarchy is clear and concise. Once that is complete, wireframes are supplied to the client showing the home page and a couple sample internal pages (depending on needs). The next step is static design comps created in InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop and once that is approved, the final sight is built using a custom theme coded by me in the WordPress CMS. Training is also provided for the client so they can edit the site themselves.
