ALTERNATIVES

DESCRIPTION
The homepage showed the message “Make it making art” and suggested Patreon is a place to connect with your crew. There were numerous examples of artists who appeared to make money from subscribers. At the top of the site was a “find a creator” button and another to “log in” and “get started.” The menu to the left had four options: creators, features, pricing, and resources. The meaning of the homepage was to show how to turn passions into businesses. 6/17/2024
