Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival

December 1st, 2009 by Noah Mormino

The Flagstaff Film Festival site is built upon the WordPress blogging system. WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. The site is an example of the power and flexibility of the the wordpress system. Using the category and post system inherit to WordPress, the system allowed administrators to easily update their film database.

Users may find a movie by date, session time, or movie title. Creating multiple paths to a single target has always been a principal goal for Clear Sky. Trying to guess how each unique user finds prefers to find a target is difficult. Rather, we are flexible in the way a we allow a user to browse a site. This flexibility creates an easy to use site and a positive user experience.

The site is designed using earth tones colors. This gives the site an “earthy” feel. Flagstaff people are known for their affection towards the environment and outdoor activities. The Flagstaff mountains are displayed in the header background to further identify it being a local effort. Grey tones and a slight asian feel in the trees give the site a modern touch.
