La Quinta Arts Foundation
La Quinta Arts Foundation required a website to publicize the many activities, services and benefits it provides to the La Quinta region, but most of all promote its key event, the La Quinta Arts Festival.
The LQAF site makes possible the cultivation of ongoing interest throughout the year with both anticipatory notices, articles regarding subsequent developments, and the ongoing increase in web content.
They look to create a showcase which transforms their annual real world event into a year-round virtual artist gallery where featured artists can showcase their best work, keeping in touch with patrons as well as bolstering their own online traffic.
An important feature for an organization such as LQAF is certainly that multiple behind the scenes persons can update the website rather than just one web editor.
As a portfolio website, LQAF.com is enhanced by a randomized flash image header on the home page, made unique by the cut out frame design, conveying artistic sense while showcasing artists pieces and scenes from the foundations events.
