The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation’s New Digital Home

An in-depth look at how we helped create an ageless site for a timeless legend.

Casual Astronaut was entrusted with this challenge. Unsurprisingly, we found the answers to our questions and inspiration from Wright and his work. Four guiding principles shaped our design for the new site, FrankLloydWright.org, which launched earlier this year.
