Alyce's site for an artist

http://www.joandagradi.com/ I like how this is a simple site with categories for her art. Straightforward and to the point, nice calm background colors that don't take away from her artwork.

Ali's Website Pick 2.7.11

Here's a really simple and easy to navigate photographer's website:

www.capecodphotography.com

I like how her name and contact info is clear and one of the first things you see. I also like how she has a few strong images on her home page with the right side being a slideshow. The thumbnails make it easy to look at a glance at all of her work, and then you can click on the ones you want to enlarge.

Clean and simple.

Crazy Work

Still don't love all the ins and outs of this site, but the work is pretty incredible!

Not the best

The art is nice, but I think it should be shown in thumbnails, then you can click if you like it. The pics. are too big, they should fit the screen, I don't like having to scroll up and down to see one picture.

The sky's the limit!

I know we are gocusing on artists but I keep finding other website I think work well. My pick this week is NASA The front page has so much going on, that it kinda feels like a control panel of a space ship. An they have a black ground site that's easy to read.
