Behind all the technical that this site will describe to you there is a fine art sensibility (or in-sensibility). In the links below this picture there are some thoughts on art and creativity with an eye on history. Hope it doesn't come across all pompous!
We offer expertise in web design with supporting software products. Our work has a fresh graphic impact informed by a fine art sensibility.
We will respond effectively to your needs through our software expertise in web design, our imaginative use of software and our visual creativity in meeting your needs.
We will write special software for you when needed, over and above the software to implement your web site. We are committed to content accuracy and great layout - both graphic and logical - of your web site. We strive for simplicity of use, clarity and directness of presentation. We believe in thorough bench testing of our products and, when practicable, a trial period on-line in a test domain, before full release, to prove a fully operational, clean bug-free site for you at handover. We will continue to support your site according to your needs however you will be able to manage your own content and thereby minimise your costs.
Palava Arts provides creative production services for the arts including design for web and print, application development, audio recording and presentation online.
'Web 2.0' is a new approach to web site presentation that allows the content to change without the need for re-loading the entire page. This makes the transitions from 'page' to 'page' far smoother and allows persistence of embedded media players.
Palava Arts is demonstrating the ideas of 'web 2.0' on this site with both 'normal' and 'web 2.0' navigated forms. There are some compatibility problems with older operating systems and browsers so we cannot make the behaviour the default in this version, however the most popular browsers do support the technology.
To try out the Web 2.0 Mode please click here and then try moving around the site. As each link is clicked you should see a loading indicator at the top-right of the screen (Loading | Stop | Error | Interactive). Each click calls for new information to be written on the web page from information retrieved from the server. The page is divided into several sections (called divisions) that are only updated if the new 'page' has information to update each one.
