News and Events
The current Pastel Artists Canada website was originally created by a fellow member who generously volunteered her time and efforts. Her contribution has served the organization well over the years but the site is now in need of an update. Below are a few key reasons why a redesign would greatly benefit Pastel Artists Canada.
#1. The current website setup makes it challenging for volunteers to make edits and updates, requiring more time and technical know-how than necessary.
#2. A fresh, visually appealing design would make the site more inviting and representative of the artistic community it serves.
#3. The site needs to be reorganized so it’s more user friendly and so that it will load quicker.
#4. The current site is not fully optimized for search engines, and does not follow Google rules which were put into place in 2019, which limits its visibility. A redesigned website with updated SEO practices could improve the organization’s online presence, driving more traffic and potentially attracting new members.
#5. A new site would eliminate the need for costly plug-ins for security reasons.
