The Darl Center for the Arts is a museum and theater in Cleveland's historic Slavic Village. It features a unique collection of art and artifacts and needed a website that could do it justice.
Challenge
Third Hatch was enlisted to generate a website worthy of any world-class museum in Paris or New York, without the stodgy look and attitude of a museum website. How could we do this cultural institution justice without them appearing academic, dry, and unwelcoming?
Solution
Rather than using the typewriter fonts and institutional imagery found on many museums’ websites, we helped The Darl Center choose bright colors, large and legible text, and bold imagery that avoids the stodgy look of many other museum websites.
Results
The Darl Center for the Arts is a stunning museum that now has a website to match. It’s an event space that celebrates “art, adventure, and life well-lived” and has a festive-looking website to match it.
Visit The Darl Center.
Our website has received an incredible amount of compliments from visitors. The design is not only beautiful but easy to navigate. We're getting newsletter signups on a weekly basis which is invaluabe for building a community of patrons for the museum.
