The new website for the school is now officially launched! An announcement was made to the student body before school on Monday. I say it’s about time. Dani and I are excited that it’s live. Dani, because now I will be at home more. 
And myself because now I feel like I have something to show for my time here. There’s still plenty that needs to be done, but it’s a great starting point. And I am hopeful that it will improve BFA’s ability to communicate.
Check it out at bfacademy.com. And feel free to let me know what you think.
A Few Snapshots
Designed for the weekend before the launch. It's what was shown instead of the homepage.
This is the new designed application page. The plan was to make it easier to use and to find the correct applications.
The new layout for the news page. This area is being developed, and exciting additions are coming in the next few months.

It looks so good, Israel! I can’t even understand how you make that all happen. I love it! I bet you are so excited! Yay!
I am pretty excited. Now I get to make changes to a new website, and not worry about the old one.
Looks awesome, Israel. It’s been fun listening-in to the chatter around campus after the announcement… all positive feedback! My students were excitingly checking out the website before design class and were pretty pleased with what they saw : )
Glad to hear that the students are liking it! I hope to be able to add more content for current and future students. It’s currently pretty lacking.
There is really no comparison. It is quite easy to use. Mission accomplished. Looks very up to date.
