I decided the first artist website to look at should be one of the graduates from Leeds College of Art and maybe a more recent one. The reason I choose Mike Winnard's website is that I am familiar with his work and him as an artist so I have a further understanding of how well his website may reflect him as an artist.
His work is very visual and his imagery stunning, so it's not surprised to see that and loads of it as soon as you click on the page. I like the idea of the home page being a artist blog, this works well for Winnard because he is regularly updating his website and is very active as an artist. If he wasn't this would reflect very badly as it is the first thing you see when you go onto the website. This update is great for his target audience and buyers, they can get regular news on whats being made in doing so makes sales and advertisement more effective.
His about page is very empty, however he has linked all of his social network links and contact details and reflecting on the images and text that accompanies them he has no real need for an in depth about page as the rest make it self explanatory.
His exhibitions page clearly states key events and exhibitions he has been apart of and then his gallery shows the rest of his work in its fullest. As his practice is quite wide in medium used his gallery section is split into clear groups, this is especially important because there is a lot of work and would be easy to become messy.
Overall it is clear and suits the purpose of representing his work and business he has created.
