The Sculptures of Serbian Rulers website is a visually stunning platform showcasing the legacy of Serbian leaders through beautifully designed sculptures. The site serves as both an educational and cultural resource, highlighting the history and artistry behind each sculpture. It was developed with Framer to ensure a modern, responsive design that captivates visitors while providing seamless navigation.
My Approach
The goal was to create a website that blends history, art, and technology into a cohesive digital experience. I focused on using Framer to craft an engaging, visually rich design while ensuring the site remained user-friendly and accessible to a diverse audience.
Vision and Innovation
My vision was to make history come alive by presenting the sculptures of Serbian rulers in a way that feels modern and interactive. Through the use of clean layouts, smooth transitions, and responsive design, the website bridges the gap between traditional art and cutting-edge technology.
Identifying Unique Challenges
A major challenge was striking the right balance between showcasing detailed information and maintaining a clean, uncluttered design. Additionally, I needed to ensure the site performed optimally across different devices while preserving the visual quality of the sculptures.
Resolving Complex Problems
To address these challenges, I optimized the site for both desktop and mobile users, using Framer's responsive design capabilities. I also worked to ensure high-quality visuals of the sculptures loaded quickly, employing image compression and lazy loading techniques to enhance performance.
