Linera Lucas/Poet Website

Poet, Linera Lucas

wanted a clean, uncluttered website design that would showcase her poetry and other creative writing and would be very easy for website visitors to navigate. A black and white minimalist design was in order. What sets the website apart from all the other minimalist web designs is the splash of color on each page. Bright and attractive professional photography brings unity to the website and makes it stand out. To make reading Linera’s poetry and prose easy to navigate and read, custom coding was used to create drop-down “accordions.” Instead of endless scrolling or clicking through to another page, simply click on a title and a poem will drop down, click again and it will roll up. Custom coding was also used to make sure that the poems had their original formatting, as spaces, punctuation, and line length are all part of the poem. In the future, the website will expand to also showcase her book of poetry and make it available for sale on her website.
