Delivering Sustainable Solutions

Discussions with QUEER | ART’s team involved ensuring that the evolution of the brand’s digital presence online needed to allow frequent updating by the staff and volunteers without the hassle of a complicated content management solution (CMS). In moving forward with Squarespace, the team embraced the easy-to-access interfaces and trimmed down previously complex dynamic features.

Strong Statements

The overall style built on the foundation of a Squarespace template embodies the brand’s fearlessness and energy. The image-led templates were modified to allow for enhanced branding and the otherwise clean segmentations provided an adaptable, browsable way to share information with their supporters. This also paved the way for third-party integrations and expanded the available functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions About Services Used in Queer | Art's Squarespace Launch

These services from A Great Idea include the following:

What’s the difference between UI and UX?

UI (User Interface) focuses more on the look, feel, and layout of your website. This can mean buttons, fonts, and navigation. UX (User Experience) is a bit broader and more structural, focusing on the overall experience. Think of UX as the house, the UI as the paint and the decorations. We often work on UI/UX in tandem as part of a holistic approach to website construction.

What website platforms do you use?

We regularly work with content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, Webflow, and Squarespace, though we’re flexible. We evaluate each project and choose a CMS depending on your needs and technical goals!

How do I measure the success of my awareness campaign?

Success varies based on your goals for the campaign. At the beginning of our collaboration, we will define our shared metrics of success. This can include anything from uptake of a hashtag to signups for your event! We set up digital awareness campaigns to be trackable—that way, we can collect analytics that evaluate campaign success to inform your future strategy.

Will the UI design work on mobile and desktop?

Yes! We build UI design with most common devices and browsers in mind to ensure your website is consistent and usable across platforms.

Do you offer ongoing support or maintenance?

Absolutely. We have ongoing retainers with many of our clients to perform regular maintenance and security patching. At the end of each project, though, we ensure our clients’ in-house web management teams have the tools and information they need to manage the website going forward.
