Solomon – Website

The redesign of Solomon’s website was built around two foundational principles: a custom typeface designed in both Greek and Latin scripts, and the revival of the classic newspaper layout, reimagined for a contemporary digital audience.

The uppercase characters of the custom typeface were used for headlines, giving the website a distinctive editorial character. They were paired with Georgia, a classic serif typeface, and Anonymous Pro, a monospaced font used selectively for descriptive elements. Together, the three typefaces create a clear typographic hierarchy. Combined with a restrained colour palette of black and white, accented by a subtle touch of yellow, they establish a visual identity that feels both familiar and contemporary.

Rather than relying on flashy animations and excessive transitions, we focused on creating a subtle and user-friendly experience. Micro-interactions became the main element of the website’s interactivity, allowing interface elements to respond to user actions without disrupting the reading experience or creating unnecessary visual fatigue.

At the core of the website is a flexible content management system. Contributors are given access to the CMS and the freedom to shape their own layouts within a predefined set of design rules. By experimenting with image ratios, font sizes and typographic styles, they can create distinctive compositions for each post. This balance between creative freedom and structured limitations brings visual variety to the publication while maintaining a coherent overall identity.

The website is fully responsive, adapting seamlessly to different devices and screen sizes. Its bilingual functionality, supporting both Greek and English, extends its reach and makes the content accessible to a wider audience.
