Crafting Our Digital Home
A Collaboration with Kevin Hunter
At Scottish Creations, our passion is showcasing the soul and artistry of Scotland through unique, handcrafted goods. Every item we feature tells a story of skill, heritage, and the stunning landscapes that inspire our makers. When it came to building our online presence, we knew we needed more than just a website; we needed a digital gallery—a space that felt as authentic and thoughtfully crafted as the pieces we curate.
That’s why we were so delighted to partner with a talent who embodies this spirit completely: the renowned Scottish artist and web designer, Kevin Hunter.
An Artist's Eye, a Coder's Hand
Finding the right person for this project was crucial. We needed someone who understood the nuances of light over a loch and the importance of clean, functional code. In Kevin, we found that rare and perfect blend.
As an artist, Kevin is celebrated for his breathtaking paintings of the Scottish land and sea. He has an innate ability to capture the atmosphere, colour, and raw beauty of his surroundings. As a web designer, he brings that same artistic sensibility to the digital canvas, creating online experiences that are not only user-friendly but also visually and emotionally resonant. He didn’t just build us a website; he helped us translate our passion for Scottish creativity into a beautiful, functional online home.
The Design Philosophy
Our collaboration with Kevin was a conversation about feeling and function. We wanted our website to evoke the same sense of wonder you feel when you discover a beautiful, handmade piece.
- A Palette from the Highlands: The colour scheme of our website is drawn directly from Kevin's artistic palette. The deep blues of the sea, the soft mauves of the heather, and the earthy tones of the glens create a backdrop that is both calming and authentically Scottish.
- Intuitive by Nature: Kevin understood that the user's journey through our site should be as effortless as a walk in the countryside. The layout is clean, intuitive, and designed to let our products and the stories of their makers shine.
- A Focus on the Craft: With his artist's eye, Kevin ensured that our high-quality photography was front and centre, allowing the intricate details and craftsmanship of each piece to be fully appreciated.
"My approach was to treat the Scottish Creations website as I would a painting. It needed structure and balance, but more importantly, it needed to capture the spirit of the brand. The goal was to build a digital space that felt welcoming, celebrated Scottish artistry, and was a genuine pleasure to explore."
Welcome to Our Gallery
The result is the website you are exploring now. It’s a space we feel truly represents who we are and the incredible talent of the artists we work with. It is a testament to what can be achieved when art and technology are woven together with a shared vision.
We invite you to browse our collections, discover the stories behind our makers, and see for yourself the care and passion that went into building our digital home. We also highly recommend you explore Kevin Hunter's stunning portfolio of paintings.
Thank you for visiting.
