website design case study

North House Gallery have frequent and varied exhibitions of paintings, drawings, sculpture, original prints and books by modern and contemporary artists of East Anglian, national and international fame.

Current & Dynamic Content A database was developed to manage the details of the exhibitions held at the Gallery. This allows the home page to automatically display the current and forthcoming exhibitions without any manual intervention. This feature always keeps the website fresh and up-to-date. The home page also selects a random image from each exhibition's library thus preventing the site's content from becoming too static.

Search Facility The database solution makes it quick and easy for visitors to search for exhibitions or artists from past, current or future exhibitions.

Previous Exhibitions Since all the exhibition information is held in a database it was possible to easily present a list of previous exhibitions so that visitors could browse the archives.

Summary The database solution made it effortless to keep the site content fresh, up-to-date and easily retrievable. Without a database it would have been a painstaking and costly task manage the site's content in such an effective manner.
