Sisters Folk Festival Case Study
Background
The Sisters Folk Festival required a revamping of their web
site design and their architecture. The site had many wonderful
features, pictures and information but it was difficult to
navigate and move around.
Site Visitors
People attending the festival, local advertisers, sponsors,
the media and performers.
Challenges
iCita needed to first work on the information architecture
then come up with a creative design that worked for the folk
music community.
Solutions
- The site content was organized and mapped to a comprehensive
site map and site plan.
- The creative element and design encompassed the over-all
vision of the Folk Festival, but also allowed the individual
programs to be highlighted.
- The web site allows for added navigation and new imagery and photos and can is easily maintained by the festival.
