Is it just me or is the usability of websites of artists / art galleries significatively worse than other websites? I always feel like these were made by someone who only care about the art and totally forget the UX. For example, invisible controls (here you can use arrow keys on desktop but it’s not indicated anywhere), incomprehensible minimalism (there’s a "previous" link here that points to the previous work, not the previous image) or horizontal slideshows that forget that swipping left and right has already a function on Safari.
- tobr 5y agoIt seems appropriate that a website for an artist would prioritize artistic expression, even in the interaction design. Where else would you prefer experiments like these happen?
- hk__2 5y agoJust like a museum dedicated to one artist, most of these websites are here to present the art works. Experiments are fine but if I can’t navigate in your website it’s useless. The top 3 most upvoted comments on this thread are about the site’s bad UX. If it were correctly done they would be about the art itself.
