The Client
At Mood, we recently had the pleasure of working with Glenn McKimmin, a renowned Australian landscape photographer, who needed a custom website that truly reflected the quality of his art and operated seamlessly for his business. Glenn’s photography is not just about capturing images; it’s about conveying the essence of Australia’s breathtaking landscapes. His platform needed to showcase his work in high definition while allowing users to easily purchase his products and navigate the site with speed and ease.
The Challenge
When Glenn approached us, his main concern was creating a platform that balanced aesthetics and functionality. He needed a website that not only highlighted his striking portfolio but also delivered a flawless user experience, particularly with his online store. Glenn required fast page loads and the ability to handle large volumes of high-resolution images without compromising speed, a key factor in delivering a premium browsing experience to his clients.

What We Did
UI/UX Design, Responsive Web Design
We built a custom-coded, fast, visually
stunning website that’s intuitive, responsive,
and optimized for seamless performance.
Our Approach
With these needs in mind, our team at Mood took the brief and immediately got to work designing a fully custom-coded website. We started by focusing on optimizing speed and performance. Given the volume of high-quality images, we integrated advanced image compression techniques without losing visual fidelity, ensuring the site loads rapidly on both desktop and mobile devices. This was crucial for user retention and search engine optimisation, both of which Glenn emphasised.
We also designed an intuitive, easy-to-navigate store, ensuring that the purchase process was as streamlined as possible. Whether a user was browsing on a smartphone or desktop, we wanted them to be able to seamlessly explore Glenn’s collections and purchase prints with minimal friction.
The Result
The end result was a visually stunning, high-performing website that reflected Glenn’s artistry while offering a top-tier e-commerce experience. The custom coding allowed us to create a fast-loading, intuitive site that integrated all of Glenn’s requirements: high-quality image display, an easy-to-use store, and a design that visually complements his breathtaking photography.
At Mood, we pride ourselves on delivering personalized, custom websites that exceed client expectations, and Glenn McKimmin’s project is a perfect example of what we can achieve when art and technology merge. We’re thrilled to have been part of his journey, ensuring that his online presence matches the caliber of his work.
