The Saint John’s Bible

Smithsonian Magazine called The Saint John’s Bible, “one of the extraordinary undertakings of our time.” The website showcasing this hand-written, hand-illuminated Bible had to be equally extraordinary.

Highlights

  • New architecture and visual redesign combined three separate sites — ecommerce, development, and project background — into one rich, cohesive user experience.
  • Rich imagery of brushes, goose quills, ink sticks, powdered pigments, gold leaf, and other calligraphic tools and materials communicate the skill involved in the creation of this artistic masterpiece.
  • An “Explore Each Volume” section enables viewers to dynamically page through each of the seven volumes of the Bible.
  • Website can be easily updated by non-technical staff.
