Jackie Hunt Icons offers traditional icon painting courses in Hampshire, alongside annual painting retreats in the beautiful surroundings of Moldavia, Romania. As an experienced artist and iconographer, Jackie needed a professional online space where she could showcase her work, share her experience and promote upcoming courses and painting retreats.
What We Set Out to Do
For Jackie Hunt Icons, the goal was to create an elegant, image-led website that reflected the traditional character and craftsmanship of Jackie’s work.
We set out to:
Showcase Jackie’s iconography and artwork
Promote upcoming icon painting courses in Hampshire
Provide information about annual painting retreats in Romania
Explain Jackie’s background, experience and artistic approach
Make course information clear and easy to find
Encourage visitors to contact Jackie about attending a course
Create a flexible website that could be updated with future dates and artwork
The Challenge
Jackie’s work has a distinctive style rooted in traditional icon painting techniques, so the website needed to complement the artwork without distracting from it.
The website therefore needed to:
Balance traditional artistic influences with a clean, modern layout
Present detailed course information in an accessible format
Separate Hampshire courses from the Romania painting retreats
Allow the quality and detail of Jackie’s artwork to take centre stage
Provide a simple way for prospective attendees to make an enquiry
Work effectively across desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices
The Solution
We designed and built a bespoke, image led website centred around Jackie’s artwork, teaching and upcoming courses.
The visual design uses an understated colour palette, elegant typography and spacious layouts inspired by the traditional character of the icons. This gives the website a distinctive identity while ensuring the artwork remains the main focus.
Key elements included:
A bespoke design reflecting Jackie’s artistic style
Dedicated information about Jackie’s background and experience
Clear presentation of upcoming Hampshire icon painting courses
A separate section for annual painting retreats in Romania
An image portfolio showcasing Jackie’s iconography and artwork
Detailed course information, including dates, locations and costs

A responsive, mobile-optimised layout
The Results

The new website helps to:
