I would like to hear from people at small to medium-sized museums about how
their museums handle the creation and maintenance of the museum web site.
Did you contract the actual design out to someone else and provide them with
the text and images and updates? Did you contract for the original design
and then start doing the updates yourself? Or is someone on staff
responsible for the actual web site creation and maintenance?

If this is part of a regular staff position, what percentage of the person's
time is devoted to web stuff and how much to other duties? Did your museum
hire someone who already knew about web site development or did someone have
to learn on the job or through museum-paid workshops/classes? And are you
happy with the result? Have people had problems with board members or other
staff members underestimating how much time maintaining a web site requires
and how have you dealt with this problem? Is your web site handicap
accessible?

Thanks.
Bobbie Scott
