Direct Approach

A couple of weeks ago, we tried a direct approach to connect with the Great Salt Lake Bird Festival coordinator in hopes of snagging the bird fest as a new client. Their current site is a bit on the awkward and outdated side - http://www.greatsaltlakebirdfest.com - and in terms of overall usability it is a bit clunky. We went as far as to design and build a demo version of the homepage to try and show them what the possibilities were for their site. Currently there are numerous birding festivals around the nation, and all the websites promoting these events are for the most part, on the sad side. Below is a screen shot of what we came up with...



We wanted to give the bird fest folks a modern, sophisticated-yet-fun, and easy to use and navigate site. Thus far we haven't heard back from them and are wondering if the approach we used was a little to forward. In any event, we wanted to show some of the stuff we are working on right now and try to spread the word.

So if you run a bird festival and are looking to modernize... Let us know!
