On any given day, metro Atlanta offers dozens of arts and cultural activities. How to find the right one? For more and more people, the answer is AtlantaPlanIt.com.
AtlantaPlanIt.com is an online guide to the area's arts and cultural entertainment events, created by the Metro Atlanta Arts & Culture Coalition (MAACC). This week, MAACC unveiled a brand new version of the site, redesigned by Point of Vision for easier use and a more appealing look.
POV has been involved with AtlantaPlanIt.com since its conceptual stages. Since fall 2005, POV has been hosting and maintaining the site while developing improvements.
So far, AtlantaPlanIt.com has registered more than 10,000 members and is near to reaching the 2 million visitor mark. AtlantaPlanIt.com also provides its search engine and event listings to other Web sites including, WSB-TV and atlopen.com.
The new site offers lots of new features to help visitors hone in on the type of event they want. It includes a special emphasis on outings that families can enjoy together and aims to expose people to events they might not otherwise see. It also offers a free membership that opens the door to special access and discounts for local events. (And if you sign up by October 15, you could win a trip for four to Space Camp!)
