SITE's Site Needs a Make Over

SITE Santa Fe

At SITE no one is really fond of the website. In fact they are working on revamping it right now. Their current website offer enough information but lacks style. Most links take you away from the site. They need to let me get a hold of it and play. I need the practice ;)

For SITE
Role #1: "... Allow people to customize information to meet their own needs
Provide people with direct access to the information that means the most to them."
SITE's site has a good hierarchy of fonts to show the viewer what's important and what's going on now. But let's say you are looking up a certain artist from SITE's past that's not that easy. They have no search engine box on the site. That might help.
 
Role #2: "... Provide links to primary and related sources and material." SITE does do this but it's SITE generated information. You have to do extra typing and searching to find more. Out side links to the artist home page would be nice.

Role #3: "... Make your information easy to share." It's easy enough but it's in PDF form and not that interesting. Trying "Issuu.com" or something similar would dress it up. Even having AR market base element embedded around the site would be nice.

Role #4: "... Create your own networks and build communities around your content
Facilitate shared experiences, connect people with shared interests." SITE has a Twitter and Facebook but having it more advertised and getting more people connected with social network sharing would be helpful.

Role #5: "... Provide timely information when and where people need it most
Make your information portable." The Twitter and other social element are not kept up fast enough. But they have them and if people used them it might work better.

Role #6: "...Geo-location changes everything…In-gallery tours and information provision AND…
Connecting your content to real-world locations, sending the information to the patron. Create opportunities for information immersion and augmented realities." I'm going to sweet talk SITE into letting me work on something for them. I think it will help bring in the audience they'd like to have walking around their gallery.

These are good guide lines that would help SITE's site.

Enjoy!
