ADOBE & PIXIESET - Best Website Award

Award:

Students used Squarespace to build their sites so they could focus on branding and functionality rather than coding. As with all good websites, a consistent brand should be immediately apparent. The main page should impact and entice the viewer to continue through the site. An engaging about page with a professional bio that is perhaps a little cheeky helps the photographer connect with potential clients. Blog content should be interesting and reflect their business. Contact info and links to their social media platforms are easy to find.

Below are the submissions for the award. The faculty and staff wish the best of luck to all who submitted. The Best Website Award has been generously co-sponsored this year by Adobe and Pixieset.

JUDGE:

Alison Capuano is a graduate of the Algonquin Photography Program and also has a Bachelor of Arts from Queen’s University. 

After graduating, Alison photographed product images for small companies. She realized having photos was only one piece of the puzzle for some clients and began offering more services like website design, social media content creation, and eventually marketing plans. That was how she found herself in the marketing industry and has stayed ever since. She currently works as a marketing consultant in Ottawa 

Throughout her career, Alison has redesigned and created multiple websites. She has experienced firsthand how a website can be everything for a business since it acts as a virtual storefront and sets the tone for client interaction. She believes websites should combine aesthetics, functionality, and wow factor all while keeping user experience top of mind. 

Alison is excited to be the judge for this year's Adobe Best Website Award. She can’t wait to see what the Photography Program’s talented students have created.
