An art council's site should also provide all necessary information about the council and its history and function. The BRAC website ranks high in this category. In addition to these requirements, an art council website should also motivate or encourage new members to join. I think that the BRAC site failed in its attempt with its membership page, but with a little creativity and effort the council could do better in this area. Finally, whatever the content, a website should be easily navigatable and well maintained.
Nothing is more annoying to the web surfer than dead links and poorly updated information.
The BRAC site does well in this respect with its simple design and well-maintained links.
