Carroll County Artist Studio Tour Website Re-design
The Carroll County Artists’ Studio Tour is a long-standing Carroll County tradition in its 39th year in 2023. Follow our FREE self guided tour to find studios and galleries in every corner of Carroll County. These “hidden gem” artisans provide a wide variety of medium and styles for you to enjoy with family and friends. Many will be demonstrating and all will be happy to answer questions about their work, workshops and tools, and Hampstead Marketing and Design is proud to say that each year we facilitate the updating of the CCAT website each year by adding new artists, new pictures, dates, and content. This year we redesigned the entire site to give it a more professional look with added links and features that make the site interactive and user friendly.
Hampstead Marketing & Design recently took on the exciting project of creating a new website for the Carroll County Artists Tour. The process of designing this website involved meticulous planning and collaboration to ensure an exceptional user experience for the event's participants and visitors. The importance of user experience cannot be overstated, as it plays a vital role in attracting and engaging potential attendees.
Hampstead Marketing & Design embarked on a comprehensive research process, gathering insights on the target audience, their preferences, and expectations for an event website. By understanding the needs of the users, the team was able to design a website that catered to their interests. Intuitive navigation was crucial, enabling visitors to easily access important information such as participating artists, tour locations, and schedule details. By implementing a clear and logical navigation structure, users could effortlessly discover the information they required, ultimately enhancing their overall experience. We were keeping the site in WordPress, so we created a clone of the previous site, hosted it on our server, re-designed based on a more complex navigation and deep submenu of individual artists pages.
To further enhance user experience, Hampstead Marketing & Design prioritized responsive design and mobile optimization. With the rise in smartphone usage, it was imperative that the website was accessible and visually appealing across various devices. The team ensured that the website was mobile-friendly, resulting in a seamless browsing experience for users on smartphones and tablets. This not only improved user satisfaction but also increased the chances of visitors sharing the event details with their friends and family, driving further participation and engagement.
