Who:

The Escape ArtFest began its history 11 years ago with the Tabula Rasa Contemporary Arts Festival, organised under the umbrella of the local business chamber. Originally the event was staged during the winter months with the aim of showcasing local artists of all genres.

Overview:

The Escape ArtFest committee had relied upon a few members to provide many services and as the festival grew the information and services required of the website had also grown. The committee needed the website to be rebuilt and managed by a professional. I donated a new website and my services over 2009 to the festival and found it most rewarding. In 2010 I again donated my time to create a Content Managed System that various committee member could publish articles to from their own computers.

What We Did:

A new contemporary website was needed. We used a Content Managed System so that updating the site was easy to do by nominated committee members. We have integrated FaceBook fan pages, Google Calendars, Google Maps and PayPal.

Technologies Used:

• Content Managed System
• Java
• MooTools
• MP3 player/ Jukebox
• Flash photo gallery
• Embedded Google Applications
• Customised contact forms
• Social Media Marketing
