Overview

51WestFilms is a Haarlem-based audiovisual company that needed a website to present their work and make it easy for clients to reach them.

The challenge: balance strong visuals with clear structure — impressive, but not overwhelming.

My role

Solo project — concept to delivery.

  • Defined structure and user flow around visual content
  • Designed the interface with minimal aesthetics and clear hierarchy
  • Developed in WordPress, later refined the implementation
  • Iterated on layout and responsiveness across devices
  • Optimized for key actions: exploring work and getting in touch

Process

I started by defining the core goal: put the work front and center, make contact effortless. From there I looked at references, set a minimal structure, and moved into layout design.

After locking the direction, I built and iterated — refining responsiveness, spacing, and interactions until the experience felt right on every device.

Result

A clean, professional site that gives 51WestFilms a solid online presence — work front and center, contact one click away.

If I revisited it, I'd push the motion and interaction further to better match the energy of their video work.
