Andrew Stevovich Web Development (2008)

The site was designed with a minimal, breathable layout that placed the paintings and drawings at the center of the presentation. Browse pages displayed cascading grids of his work, allowing visitors to scan across a large body of paintings and drawings before selecting an individual work, which opened into a clean, spacious artwork page with room for the image to be seen properly. Site decoration and captioning were kept restrained throughout. The work leads.

The home page greeted visitors with an elegant slideshow of his paintings, establishing the quality and character of his work immediately on arrival. Upcoming shows and exhibitions were surfaced on the home page through a custom data feed, keeping the site current with his active exhibition schedule.

The site organized Andrew Stevovich's work across paintings, drawings, prints, and pastels, with browsing filtered by chronological order, alphabetical listing, and availability. Additional data types included publications, media coverage, and press and critical reviews. Approximately 20 to 30 critical and press review articles were recreated and presented in full within the site, providing substantive written context for his work and career alongside the visual archive.

An RSS feed integration was implemented to pull posts from Andrew Stevovich's Blogger account and newsletter directly into the site, allowing his writing and updates to be read within the site's presentation without requiring visitors to navigate away to external platforms. RSS was the standard and well-suited solution for this kind of live content integration at the time.

A fully responsive layout was implemented to ensure consistent presentation of the artwork across screen sizes and devices.

Search engine optimization was addressed through clear semantic page structure, descriptive metadata, and logical organization of artwork and content pages to support discoverability of the work and the artist.

This site served as Andrew Stevovich's primary web presence from its launch in 2008 through more than a decade of his career. It was replaced in 2023 by a significant overhaul conceived around a catalogue raisonné approach to presenting his work, placing a much greater emphasis on the data architecture underlying the archive and the relationships between works, exhibitions, publications, and reviews. That redesign brought his web presence into a fully modern technical and visual standard and expanded the scope of what the site could hold and show. Andrew Stevovich is my father, and both generations of this site represent some of the most personally meaningful work of my career.
