An analysis of Anne Marie James’ website and how they use it.
Ann Marie James – https://www.annmariejames.co.uk/about
This website is clear to understand and navigate, with tabs at the top and Instagram and email links at the bottom of each page. Some of the pages, such as paintings, exhibition and curating are a bit similar, and you click on an image to learn about it. I think having a caption of the title below the work or exhibition might be more effective.
Anne Marie’s site is clearly used to showcase her work, past and current. It is also used to showcase her achievements and contains a comprehensive CV and Bibliography in her ‘about’ tab.
It does not have a portfolio section, but you can click tabs named ‘drawing’, ‘painting’, ‘collage’ and ‘prints’ so that you can look at the type of work you are interested in, which is one way of showing your work.
There is not a news or current undertaking section and knowing what Ann Marie is currently up to, the website has not been made up to date with those things.
When clicking on the ‘shop’ tab is shows you work that is not on her website, but it details her current work for the Artists Support Pledge.
I feel that Anne Marie James uses her websites to showcase a slimmed down versions of her works, which is essentially a portfolio broken up into individual tabs. It is also a way of showcasing her previous undertakings, achievements and the type of work she undertakes, including curatorial work.
