Home page of Joara Pot­tery Fes­ti­val website

The Explor­ing Joara Foun­da­tion recently hired MESH Design Group to develop a web­site for their annual Joara Pot­tery Fes­ti­val. Since pot­tery fes­ti­vals are pop­u­lar in west­ern North Car­olina, they needed a web­site that would look and func­tion bet­ter than other pot­tery fes­ti­val sites.

So we cre­ated a cus­tom web­site design that reflects that artis­tic nature of the event. All impor­tant infor­ma­tion — the date and loca­tion of the event — is promi­nently fea­tured on every page of the site, so it is imme­di­ately seen regard­less of what page the vis­i­tor lands on when com­ing to the website.

We also included a page for each artist fea­tur­ing a photo of their pot­tery, so vis­i­tors can see the qual­ity of work that is fea­tured at the event. Even the Artists’ nav­i­ga­tion menu has thumb­nails of each artist’s work for a great visual effect.

We built this web­site (and many oth­ers) using Word­Press, today’s most pop­u­lar open source Con­tent Man­age­ment Sys­tem (CMS). Word­Press is an incred­i­bly well devel­oped CMS with 100s of devel­op­ers con­tribut­ing reg­u­larly to the project. The num­ber of devel­op­ers work­ing on Word­Press has cre­ated a sys­tem that is very fast, very secure, and very easy to use.

Our cus­tom web­site designs built using Word­Press pro­vide our cus­tomers with web­sites that allow them to eas­ily add and main­tain their own con­tent while enjoy­ing a cus­tom design that is unique to their busi­ness or organization.

We look for­ward to con­tin­u­ing our rela­tion­ship with the Explor­ing Joara Foun­da­tion and can’t wait to check out the 5^th Annual Joara Pot­tery Fes­ti­val!
