Fred. Olsen Arts Club website
This week sees the launch of Fred. Olsen Travel’s Arts Club website. Arts Club offers cruises designed to relax and indulge as well as rekindle or develop an interest in topics as diverse as antiques and dance, photography and gardening. The website was built to fit alongside Flagship Golf, another niche cruise website designed and coded by Debug Design.
The website features a bespoke content management system built to allow simple and easy updates to cruise, lecturer and ship information. The website was coded in PHP and CSS with modal windows. The modal window has many advantages; when a modal window contains a smaller element, the user doesn’t need to load an entirely new page just to access it, the modal windows allows them to view the content overlaid on their current page, improving the usability of the website. Having to load pages over and over will annoy most users, so avoiding that is definitely a good thing. Modal windows also allow you to save space by getting rid of large elements that don’t need to be on the main page.
