www.dianamaynard.comI'd recommend SAV to anyone who wants web designers that take the time to understand their products and business. The way they have showcased my jewellery online is remarkable.
Diana Olivia Maynard, Managing Director
About
Diana has worked as a goldsmith and commission jeweller for many years. She studied Industrial Design, specialising in silver. Since co-founding a Silver Jewellery manufacturing company that produced work for companies such as Liberty, she has transferred her attention to more precious materials.
The brief
As a designer and jeweller, Diana wanted her site to inspire new clients, give them ideas and help them express themselves when it came to the consultation process. As a businesswoman, Diana wanted to keep a high level of control over content, being able to update and amend images and information without having to call us every single time.
Our solution
Simplicity, elegance and clarity... all words that Diana used when describing what she wanted from her website. The site itself uses as few colours as possible - we wanted to create a canvas for Diana's work, not swamp it.
Easy to navigate galleries allow users to view high quality images of individual pieces - simple standards-based and accessible coding ensures that the site is fast and viewable by almost every potential client, no matter the speed of their internet connection.
As all pieces are commissions, it was deemed unnecessary to clog the site up with an online store - Diana's business is based around time in person with her customers and each piece is designed around an individual.
The copy style is friendly and personal, again reflecting Diana's ethos of fun through professionalism - for many clients the piece they are commissioning may be one of the most important things they buy (weddings and engagements can be especially stressful if you get the wrong ring) so making clients feel at home is incredibly important.
