YERBA BUENA CENTRE FOR THE ARTS is a centre that presents visual and performing arts as well as educational programs, emphasizing the diverse artists and communities in that area.
The site is used for providing information, services, facilities and information for events for its various art forms.

The site uses flash mainly for its navigation bar. It is also an area where photographs can be displayed and changed dynamically. The flash provides some smooth movement to the page. The flash also provides some interesting visual feedback with its smooth rollovers. Seperating the main title in to sub sections makes it easier for people to access information as it guides users along.

The design is quite simple and conventional but I think the flash transition makes it interesting. Its simplicity also makes it easy to navigate through.

The flash movie also provides prompts for users notifying them where the main navigation is.

The website has to update its information very frequently so using html for is content is a better idea.

The site has many different links and categories but it is structured in a systematic way that helps separate the different links.

The layout of information is really long and the user has to scroll a lot to get to information.

Navigation is easy and links back to the previous page are usually provided so you don’t get lost within the site.

The site loads quickly and is easy for most people to access and view.

I think this site serves its purpose it provides information which is quite easy for most users to access , at the same time the design, even though simple, is also quite attractive .
