Artist.com Membership Check-Out

Maintaining your brand and a compelling user experience though out any sign-up/check out process is key and often over looked as an “admin” feature of most sites. Check-out should be an easy, fun to use and memorable visual element.

Laszlo WebTop for Artists

“Webtop contains a client-server framework to support advanced Ajax applications. It consists of a server-side component, implemented as a Java servlet that can run in any Java servlet container, and client-side components, which are included as OpenLaszlo libraries.” ~Laszlo Webtop

Before Artist.com became an aggregated content site, there were plans to create a personalized, online community that specifically catered to artists looking to create a one of a kind web presence. Features included, dedicated artist email, IM, shopping carts, contacts portfolios, demo’s etc and served everyone from fine artists to rock bands. The technology / platform of choice was Laszlo’s WebTop product. Out of the box, Webtop provided ALL of the features we needed to get a robust version 1.0 out the door with some “skinning” and hosting customization.
