Well, it’s been long overdue, but we’ve finally rebuilt the entire site navigation.

When the system started, way back when, it only dealt with Artist Liaison. So the navigation comprised a single row of links at the top of the page (contracts, stage, addresses, press, etc.). As the site grew organically we added additional layers – admin, staff, accommodation and, soon to be launched, volunteers. To keep the navigation strip manageable, we subdivided it by role and put the new links in the corner beneath the main navigation. And it worked  fine when there were just a couple of options (artists and admin), but eventually it began to cause problems.

New users were getting lost, prospective clients didn’t see the breadth of the system (thinking that it was simply managing the artist relationships) and eventually we had to bite the bullet and change everything around.

Should have done it ages ago…
