Previous proposal: [APPROVED] VN Artists Dao – AUGUST 2022 Funding Request (Overview)
Projects:
1/ [Proposal] Web designer for VAD’s official website
Report:
After registering for legal wrapper, we proceeded to buy a domain to build a website for official use (promote the DAO, feature artists’ work & feature our local swag store). The website proposal was made in 2 parts: a proposal for Marketing with domain, server & hosting - and this proposal for Creatives with designing work.
Thanks @agnesba for working closely with us about ideas & designing part to implement the web (Astro Payout). Having our own website allows us to further market the Near community and our brand. The website allows users to learn more about our activities while maintaining a professional appearance of the DAO.
Metric reflection:
A completed website consists of 4 sections:
- DAO introduction & highlights (core values).
- Featured artworks & mintbase store.
- Activities.
- Local swag store (to be implemented).
