Hello;
I have been hired to develop a web site for a new exhibit planning and
design firm.  The company wants to make the site as interesting and as
useful as possible to the museum community.
In order to do this I am looking for feedback on what information museum
directors, curators or exhibit staff would be looking for when searching
various exhibit planning and design company sites.  I would appreciate any
help you can provide.  I have listed six questions but if you have any more
thoughts please send them to me. This is not a solicitation for business,
just a request for info to make the clients site more useful. The client
will not be told who responded to this survey. All responses will be
confidential. Thank you for your time and trouble.
