Site Design and Development:
49 Designs is honored to design for such a premier artistic event as the World Ice Art Championships at Ice Alaska. With over 80 sculpture sites per year, and more than 100 artists visiting from all over the globe, we needed a way to organize and catalog each sculpture and the artists who created them. This job was already being done by the web team at Ice Alaska, but without the use of a database to search and navigate the site! The goals for the site rebuild were to educate visitors about all the park has to offer from each sculpture on the map, whether it is a competitive piece or a kids park feature. After that, giving credit to all of the volunteers who make this event possible. Visit 49Designs online:
