Are there trends to pay attention to? Others to ignore? Makes the site appealing? What mistakes can you avoid?If your work involves museum websites these will be questions you’ll have to tackle, whether you’re commissioning a new site or just trying to keep the current one healthy.

Then, the main points: three key groups of questions your site needs to answer for your visitors. Finally, a dive into the building blocks that help a site work particularly effectively.
