    AMERICAN ART MUSEUMS on the WEB by Jeannette Dixon and Ana Christina Barata

    INSPEL 33(1999)4, pp. 209-214 AMERICAN ART MUSEUMS ON THE WEB* By Jeannette Dixon and Ana Christina Barata There are 1620 art museum in the U.S. today, according to the Official Museum Directory, published by the American Association of Museums. Over half of them have Websites. However, only a few of the top museums have Internet access museumwide for the staff. According to Kathy Jones-Garmil in her book, The Wired Museum, we still have a long way to go before most of the world’s museums are on-line. The expense of maintaining a lively and up-to-date site presents a significant investment for any organization. A budget for its continued development needs to be made on an annual basis. Unless a Website is updated on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, information goes out of date and turns off users who depend on accurate, current information. The Worldwide Web came into being in 1994. The Web offered the ability to show images and text over the Internet. There was an explosion of interest in developing Web pages, and many art museums made their first Web page, trying to reach this new audience. An enthusiastic museum staff member who had some familiarity with the Internet, and who wanted to promote their institution usually created these Websites. It was exciting, because Web page publishing was instantaneous, giving the creator a sense of instant gratification. There was a great spirit of cooperation among the early Webmasters; little was written about how to create a museum "homepage." There was no software in the beginning to aid in building a Web page; each tiny element had to be individually coded.

  • Appendix a the Ten Commandments for Websites

    Appendix a the Ten Commandments for Websites

    Appendix A The Ten Commandments for Websites Welcome to the appendixes! At this stage in your learning, you should have all the basic skills you require to build a high-quality website with insightful consideration given to aspects such as accessibility, search engine optimization, usability, and all the other concepts that web designers and developers think about on a daily basis. Hopefully with all the different elements covered in this book, you now have a solid understanding as to what goes into building a website (much more than code!). The main thing you should take from this book is that you don’t need to be an expert at everything but ensuring that you take the time to notice what’s out there and deciding what will best help your site are among the most important elements of the process. As you leave this book and go on to updating your website over time and perhaps learning new skills, always remember to be brave, take risks (through trial and error), and never feel that things are getting too hard. If you choose to learn skills that were only briefly mentioned in this book, like scripting, or to get involved in using content management systems and web software, go at a pace that you feel comfortable with. With that in mind, let’s go over the 10 most important messages I would personally recommend. After that, I’ll give you some useful resources like important websites for people learning to create for the Internet and handy software. Advice is something many professional designers and developers give out in spades after learning some harsh lessons from what their own bitter experiences.
