The project
The site introduces Bob and Fran’s story through their surviving letters. It gives readers several ways into the material: the story, epilogue, letters, book, and music.
This is broader creative work, not a contractor lead-generation project. The design decisions serve reading and exploration rather than a sales funnel.
Let the letters introduce the story
The opening uses images of handwritten correspondence beside a concise introduction. The original material establishes the subject before the reader enters the archive.
Separate reading paths
Story, epilogue, letters, book, and music each have a named route through the navigation. Readers can follow the narrative or begin with a particular part of the collection.
Use an editorial visual language
Navy, warm paper tones, and serif typography carry through the introduction. The reviewed mobile capture shows the current stacked reading layout; the presentation image is paired with that actual capture.
What this means for your website
A website should make its subject understandable and give visitors a useful next step. This project shows those choices in the actual interface.
