Hobo Gives a Homepage to Two Kats and a Cow
November 22nd, 2005
Stylish, sea front
art gallery Two Kats and a Cow has chosen Hobo Internet, a new
Brighton-based partnership, to develop its new website www.twokatsandacow.com which captures the spirit of the successful gallery and allows the artists themselves to update the site.
Two
Kats and a Cow, located in the Kings Road Arches on Brighton Beach,
wanted a professional-looking website which could be regularly updated
with their artwork, gallery news and events but, like many small
businesses, could not afford the costs that web design companies charge
for designing and managing a website.
Hobo Internet, whose
partners, Danny and Ben have over 10 years experience of arts-related
web design have developed websites for Somerset House and the Victoria
and Albert Museum. They have combined their experience of the arts with
their technical knowledge to enable businesses to simply manage and
update their own websites in a professional way without having to spend
a fortune on designers.
Hobo provided Two Kats and a Cow with a
simple but professionally designed and developed website with a few
style customisations to incorporate the Two Kats and a Cow logo, fonts
and colours. Now the artists at Two Kats and a Cow simply log into the
website, make their changes using easy-to-use editing tools and their
changes are immediately available to visitors to their site.
Katty McMurray of Two Kats and a Cow said:
“These guys at Hobo are wonderful. The site is a real extension of our gallery. I never thought I would be able to update my own site but now I’m making changes all the time.”
Ben Lobo, Hobo’s
Technical Director, said: “The best people to be in control of a
website’s content are the owners – the artists themselves. Our goal is
to make it easy – and affordable – for local businesses to publicise
and promote themselves.”
Hobo plan to introduce additional
features to their website packages in the near future to enable
businesses to get more value, including a shopping cart facility for
businesses that want to be able to create and manage their own online
shop.
