Elise's Website

In general Elise's website is clean and functional. However, as previously mentioned, it is very much a square space website. As Elise's work aims to reintroduce the human aspect into weaving, I don't think an inherently computer generated website (highly gridded, stark, empty) positively accompanies her work. Along side this, the presence of her as the artist is also very void - even the about page only has pictures of her work.

The purpose of Elise's portfolio site seems to that of any other, to give a location for people to find, see, and learn about her work. This site does do that - Elise aligns all of her work with information about it. Her photos are also very nice and aids in her (apparent) purpose of presenting her work.

My only gripe about the functionality of the sight itself is the "home" button as it take you back to the welcome page (which contains no valuable information.
