Web Critique: Chicago Artists' Coalition

Design:
Inviting, warm color palette. new online gallery(good teacher resource). Nice not to have too much info on the front page, but at the same time you get informed. Clean and clear...and little youtube vids a the bottom!

Layout:
Following traditional easy format...tabs up top to search. Layout is simple and clear. The main page can be scrolled down and all the "colorful" information is in that section. To search for basics there are not only the tabs up top but on the left side (clearly shown) on the left side.

Content:
I don't remember the content, design or layout being so clear for this site in the past. I like how it features a main Chicago event right on the front page, has the online gallery for teachers and shows the coalition in action through video. What is really great is that the online gallery features Chicago artists only...great way to get to know the artists in the community. I like the new PROMPT journal..relating art to politics, etc...very good to keep art thriving in Chicago.

  1. Good call about the gallery - it's nice to have a locally-focused resource like that. That said, so much of the site is restricted to members only. How do you feel about that?
