Chris Richard Studio, Website Design Portfolio | Cider House

Custom WordPress website for Chris Richard Studio, showcasing fine art wood and clay sculptures with curated galleries and commission inquiries.

Showcasing fine art online requires elegance and functionality. For Chris Richard Studio, we designed a custom website that highlights his wood and clay sculptures while helping collectors and galleries explore his work with ease. Chris Richard is a sculptor based in Denton, Maryland, known for transforming elemental materials into fine art pieces with a distinct sense of form and presence. His work spans vessels, wall pieces, and other sculptural forms that invite close attention and reward slow looking.

A gallery-first website built to support discovery and commissions

We created a site that lets the work lead, pairing curated galleries with clear context and an easy path for commission inquiries.

Web Design

A custom WordPress website designed to present sculpture with the polish of a gallery, while supporting commissions and professional inquiries.

Chris needed an online presence that felt elevated and intentional. It had to showcase the breadth of his portfolio, share his story, and make it simple for collectors and collaborators to reach out.

Challenge

Chris Richard Studio needed a website that would:

  • Showcase fine art wood and clay sculptures in a curated, visually engaging way
  • Provide insight into the artist’s background and creative process
  • Support commission requests and professional inquiries from collectors and galleries
  • Reflect the sophistication of the work through design and usability

Solution

We developed a WordPress site built around strong visual presentation and clear navigation.

Work included:

  • Portfolio Galleries: Curated collections for vessels, wall pieces, and previous works to help visitors explore by category
  • Artist Bio and Process: Dedicated sections sharing Chris’s background, influences, and studio approach
  • Commissions Page: Clear guidance on commissioning work, with examples and an outline of the process
  • Responsive Design: A layout that remains visually strong across desktop, tablet, and mobile
  • Contact Integration: A straightforward form and clear contact pathways to support inquiries

Results

The new website strengthened the studio’s ability to connect with a wider audience:

  • Increased Visibility: The work is now presented in a format that supports discovery by collectors and galleries
  • Enhanced Professional Image: Design and content align with the quality and sophistication of the sculptures
  • Improved Accessibility: Visitors can explore the portfolio easily and reach out for commissions without friction

More Productive Inquiries: Clear context around process and body of work helps filter and improve conversations
