Summerhall Arts
Launched:
Born from the restructuring of one of Edinburgh’s best-known cultural venues, Summerhall Arts needed a fresh start—and a functional website—on a limited budget. I worked with the team to develop a new WordPress site with event listings, replacing the old Summerhall site which I’d managed for 12 years. The result is a lightweight site that supports the next chapter of this much-loved creative hub.

Launched:
One of Edinburgh’s most established galleries, The Scottish Gallery needed a refreshed website that did justice to its artists and archive.
