Kay Unger is an iconic American fashion designer whose work I have long admired. When the opportunity arose to redesign Kay's website, I knew it was a project that needed to be elevated to reflect her status and unique style. This was no small task—it involved showcasing Kay's impressive body of work, her philanthropic efforts, and her personality, all while maintaining a professional and easy-to-navigate design.
The project required a heavy focus on customization to create a website like no other, and I implemented extensive custom HTML and CSS to bring Kay’s vision to life. One of the most rewarding aspects was the challenge of recovering elements from her old website. Many key pieces of her past work had been locked away, but I was able to access and recover content through internet archival software, ensuring that important details of her history weren’t lost. This project not only showcases her life’s work but also provides a website that is flexible enough for her team to easily update for years to come.
I also take pride in educating my clients on how to manage their websites independently. In this case, I ensured that Kay’s assistant knew exactly how to update and maintain the site, empowering them to take control of future changes. I believe in the adage: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”
This project truly reflects my commitment to creating personalized websites that empower my clients while preserving the essence of their brand. The Kay Unger Design website is now a powerful online presence that showcases Kay’s history, achievements, and values for years to come.
