Portfolio | Ocean Song Web Design

I design Web sites according to the needs of the business or organization. You may require a modest, Internet presence which can be accomplished with a few Web pages, or even a single page; or you may benefit from an extensive site with many sections and subsections.

Some Web sites are static: information is posted and it rarely changes. Other sites are dynamic, requiring frequent updates. Some sites are primarily informational: they provide site visitors with information about a company or organization, or about products or services. Other sites focus on e-commerce, where products are sold online. The content of some sites is primarily text, while other sites rely on images and need little text.

The following sites, created by Ocean Song Web Design, exemplify different types of sites. Visit a site by clicking on itís image or URL, and it will open in a new window. To return here, just close that window.

The Marblehead Festival or Arts, founded in 1963, makes extensive use of its Web site. Features include:

The two-column layout facilitates placement of text blocks and photos.
The site provides the community with the Festival schedule and information about Festival events.
It provides information for artists: art submission guidelines, deadlines, and entry forms.
The Festival is an all-volunteer organization, and the Web site enables volunteers to sign up online.
The site includes private pages with information for Festival committee members.
It has an extensive collection of Festival photos — something which could not be published, without great expense, in any other medium.
It features an e-mail newsletter, available to anyone who signs up for it.
A not-for-profit organization, the Festival site makes use of a secure server to accept contributions online.
A Web Site Directory provides alternative site navigation, providing direct access to all sections and subsections of the site.
The Web site serves as an online historical archive where the Festival’s history is preserved and is easily accessed.
