Above you can see a picture of me, as I have slowly become a Sqaurespace Techno Wizard. But all jokes aside, I am really becoming more comfortable with the website and how to design it. Just recently, I added a Gallery to the website. Here we will be able to store photos from events as well as posters and other printables. This arrangement also makes more sense as far as where to locate graphics; originally, posters were under "Support Us," but by making a gallery, there is one location for all graphic-related information. As for gathering more photos, I made photo folders in the Art Department Drive so that the class can go on the drive and upload any photos they snapped during any of our events. I think that this method will be more effective than sending all the photos to be directly, as that can getting a bit iffy with sending mass photos via emails. I also arranged the Staff page by department priority which proved to be a bit of a challenge. Squarespace offers a wide arrangement of detailing options, but when you want to swap the order of objects on a page, you basically have to reconstruct the page. Squarespace is fairly easy to use, but it still requires a lot of time to construct and finalize the site.
This week I looked at the Cucalorus Website for inspiration: http://www.cucalorus.org/
To begin with, I love the imperfect feel of this website's design. It reflects the silly and weird vibes of Cucalorus and also manages to look clean and interesting. I really have very little to complain about with the layout, seeing how everything is fairly easy to find.
