Jennet Inglis Art

Overview

Jennet Inglis is an artist, author, and the creator of the Master in a Minute® coloring book series. Book 1, Sunflowers, launched as a hardback, which is unusual in the coloring and activity book market. Alongside the series, Jennet creates and sells original artwork and prints through her Etsy shop. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including public installation projects, and her artistic ability has drawn recognition from prominent figures in the arts and sciences.

Before this project, her presence online amounted to a Linktree. She had no dedicated home on the web: nowhere to display her artwork properly, nowhere to tell her story, and nowhere to point collectors, stockists, or readers who wanted to know more about the Master in a Minute series.

What the site needed to do

The brief covered several distinct jobs. The site needed to introduce Jennet as both an artist and an author. It needed a gallery that could display original work with genuine care, a dedicated landing page for the Sunflowers book that linked through to Amazon, a contact route via WhatsApp, and an about page ("Meet Jennet") where her story could breathe.

Art protection was a core requirement from the start. Jennet's originals have real market value, and putting high-resolution work on the web carries risk. The site needed image watermarking, download prevention, and browser-level protections to make casual copying meaningfully harder.

Finally, the site had to be manageable. Jennet's team needed to be able to update the gallery, adjust copy, and add new content themselves, without a developer in the loop every time.

Design approach: the artwork is the vibe

The client's direction was clear: let the artwork speak. No loud branding, no muddy color palettes, nothing that competes with or diminishes what's on the canvas.

We built around that instruction. The design is restrained and editorial: generous whitespace, a neutral base that works with any color palette Jennet's work happens to bring, and typography that earns its place without asserting itself. The site does not try to be a brand identity. It is a frame.

The gallery uses a mosaic layout that groups images in a way that feels considered rather than mechanical. Works sit at different scales and proportions, the way they might on an actual wall.

Key features

Art protection

Original artwork is protected through a combination of visible watermarking, disabled right-click and drag behavior on gallery images, and prevention of direct image download via standard browser interactions. These measures do not make copying technically impossible, but they raise the cost enough to matter for casual attempts. This was a non-negotiable requirement and was scoped and built accordingly.

Master in a Minute landing page

The Sunflowers book gets its own page within the site. It introduces the Master in a Minute® series, explains what makes the hardback format distinctive, and includes a clear call to action through to Amazon. The page is built to be updated as the series grows: future titles can be added without structural changes.

Contact via WhatsApp

Rather than a traditional contact form, Jennet's preferred contact route is WhatsApp. The contact page routes enquiries directly to her, keeping the communication channel consistent with how she already works.

CMS and editorial control

The site is built on Payload CMS and Next.js. Every content area, including the gallery, the about page, the book landing page, and the home page copy, is editable through the admin panel. We delivered CMS training as part of the project handover so Jennet's team could manage the site independently from day one.

Outcome

Jennet Inglis now has a dedicated home on the web that reflects the quality and character of her work. The Linktree is gone. In its place is a site that can hold the full scope of her practice: the gallery, the book series, the story, and a direct line for anyone who wants to get in touch.

The restrained design means the site will not date quickly. As Jennet's practice evolves, the CMS gives her and her team the tools to keep the content current without any technical overhead.
