First Thursday on Main
First Thursday on Main
In the growing and thriving art scene that strengthens the creative culture of a bustling downtown Columbia, SC, First Thursday on Main supports and highlights local artists, musicians, and local Main Street businesses.
the challenge
A volunteer-driven endeavor, First Thursday required a site that would excite residents to join the festivities, and that was also easy to update each month.
the solution
- We worked with the organization’s existing branding to design a fun, friendly site that’s easy to navigate.
- We created processes for gathering monthly activity data from participating businesses and artists.
Their brand is very playful and fun — I wanted to focus on capturing the vibrant energy of the event while ensuring a smooth and engaging user experience for visitors.

Designer
I was worried about the technological ease of things (since our previous website was very clunky and challenging to edit), but Beam & Hinge built a site that is easy for both our users and our content managers to navigate.
