Create It: Director, Choreographer and Other Creative Websites
This week’s question came from Greenfield, IN with Artistic Director, Christine C. Schaefer:
“Do I need a website? Isn’t a FB page enough?”
Mark Zuckerberg is volatile. Google, Apple, and Facebook are all fighting privacy battles in court. If you rely solely on social media, you are building your business, brand, and audience on rented property. What happens if you get locked out, evicted, face new terms of service, etc.
Having a website allows you to keep your audience focused: there are no red flags, literal dings and pings, or shiny ads and videos flying at them. For you as a theatre company, you can best showcase upcoming events as well as past productions. You have control on the layout!
Below are dozens of creative websites to inspire you: arts companies, shows, directors, choreographers, designers and more. When you’re ready, start your website build on a solid foundation.
One-Page Websites
Get started with a simple website. I often call this an “apartment.” However, like a real-life apartment, it can serve you for many years. While some of these artists have expanded or redecorated, the foundation is the same.
Full Websites
I couldn’t help myself with this collection. I pulled some of my favorite designs from artists on creative teams: directors, choreographers, music directors, playwrights, and more.
Client Examples
Below are some of the first designs from the Changemaker Community using our new website templates! You can do this… and we’d love to help make it simple, easy, and FUN!
