Lorrie Berry Fine Art Portfolio
WordPress portfolio and WooCommerce shop for a nationally collected contemporary painter — gallery, bio, and original art sales.

Lorrie Berry is a contemporary abstract painter and member of NAWA (National Association of Women Artists) whose works are collected nationally and featured in interior design projects across the US.

We built her WordPress presence with a portfolio gallery, artist biography, and WooCommerce storefront to sell original paintings directly to collectors and interior designers.
Brochure and portfolio sites win on clarity — service pages should answer who, what, and how to contact within one scroll on mobile.
Local SEO structure (service areas, schema markup, GBP alignment) should be planned before content migration, not bolted on at launch.
Project at a Glance
| Field | Detail | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Category | CMS & WordPress | WordPress and CMS-powered business sites, portfolios, and brochure websites. |
| Client Type | Contemporary Fine Art Painter | Engagement model |
| Timeline | 5 weeks | Discovery through go-live |
| Focus Areas | WordPress · WooCommerce · Artist Portfolio · E-Commerce | Primary capabilities delivered |
Delivered for a contemporary fine art painter in 5 weeks — scoped as a fixed-milestone engagement with weekly demos and named owners on both US and Vietnam sides.
Selling original fine art online requires conveying scale, texture, and color accurately.
A generic WordPress theme was not capturing the quality of Lorrie's work, and the purchase flow was unintuitive for collectors who expected high-touch service.
WordPress performance depends on image discipline and caching — lazy-load galleries and keep plugin count intentional.
Contact and lead forms need spam protection and routing rules so inquiries reach the right owner without manual forwarding.
We designed a minimal, gallery-style WordPress layout that puts the artwork front and center. WooCommerce handles original painting sales with per-piece dimensions, medium descriptions, and framing options.
High-resolution zoomable images and a clean inquiry form serve buyers who want to talk before purchasing.
Clients must be able to update galleries, bios, and announcements without developer tickets — train on the admin workflow before handoff.
Third-party embeds (reviews, Instagram, maps) should degrade gracefully when APIs rate-limit or change.
We measure success against baselines agreed in discovery — not vanity metrics added after launch. The table below captures headline numbers; narrative outcomes follow for stakeholder reviews.
Key Metrics
| Metric | Result | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Online painting inquiries | +70% | Measured post-launch |
| Avg. time on portfolio | 4.2 min | Measured post-launch |
| Interior designer referrals | +3 firms | Measured post-launch |
Business Outcomes
- Interior designers browse by color palette and room style to select pieces for client projects.
- Collectors contact the artist directly via inquiry form with painting dimensions pre-filled.
- New work is added to the gallery by the artist herself through the WordPress media uploader.
Measure leads and qualified calls, not page views alone — tie analytics events to form submits and click-to-call actions.
Seasonal campaigns and landing pages should reuse a component library so marketing can publish quickly.

Hosting, backups, and SSL renewal belong in the launch checklist — downtime on a lead-gen site is lost revenue.
Document theme customization boundaries so future agencies do not break performance or SEO settings.
Run through this checklist before go-live — assign an owner for each item and block the release window until sign-off. Skipping steps because of deadline pressure is how production incidents start.
Pre-launch gates
- Verify contact forms, spam protection, and notification routing in staging.
- Run Core Web Vitals and mobile layout checks on key landing pages.
- Confirm local SEO metadata, schema markup, and sitemap submission.
- Test gallery and blog publishing workflow with client admin users.
- Validate SSL, backups, and caching plugin configuration.
- Document plugin update and rollback steps for client handoff.
