MICRO IS THE NEW BLACK A microsite is a web site that consists of a single page or tiny cluster of pages meant to function in a mutually exclusive capacity from an organization's primary website. It’s all about keeping it simple.
62
HauntedIsland.org microsite
Size: single page website.
Cost: $450 for the entire project.
Time: 15 days from start to launch.
Attendance: just over 500/night.
Conversion: cash payments, mostly walkups via “Directions” toggle.
63
ChattFilmMusic.org microsite
Technological Literacy: city has high degree of experienced web users so design utilizes an icon/graphic heavy UX, no navigation menu, and sparse text.
Cost: $475 for the entire project.
Time: 12 days from start to launch.
Design: clean lines distinguish UX.
64
SO. MUCH. INFO. mega menu
A mega menu (or uber menu) is an expansive drop down navigation menu designed to deliver an unfettered UX and/or display a complex navigation architecture.
65
AtlantaSymphony.org mega menu
Lots of interior pages and a small primary navigation footprint make the site an ideal MM candidate.
50/50 split layout with varying background colors is consistent with each parent menu item.
No mobile reduction
66
PBOpera.org mega menu
MM used more for enhancing UX than displaying boat loads of info.
Entire mainstage season w/dates, live Google map, and tix purchase details displayed in parent level views.
Mobile reduction collapses column info into stacked layout
67
Akustiks.com mega menu
MM used to help users self identify area(s) of interest and initiate navigation funnel while projecting the full scope of firm’s activity.
Mobile reduction collapses column info into stacked layout
