Portal. A website that aims to capture the feeling of writing; so rich in texture you can almost touch it.
Portal is a literary magazine. For five years Portal Magazine used the same website. But there were major changes in the Publishing industry and their website also needed to undergo a transformation that reflected the current internet media landscape.

Testimonials
"Liliana's redesign of Portal magazine's website went smoothly and was completed on schedule. She consulted with the editorial team to develop and edit content. She listened carefully to what we wanted and then worked independently to create a new look along with simple and effective functionality. Working with Liliana was a pleasure because of her professional attitude, creative vision, and technical skills. I recommend her highly." Rhonda Bailey - Client
