Dear Julie,
The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University chose to go with eMuseum in 2011 to make our permanent collection searchable online. When we purchased eMuseum, we did not have a designer but we wanted our collection pages to seamlessly transition into our website. For this reason, we could not use eMuseum out of the box, so I brought designs to the support team at eMuseum and they worked with me to achieve a look we were pleased with.

Last year, when our marketing/PR department hired a local design firm to redo the Nasher's website, the firm was also able to design a new surface upgrade (skin) for the eMuseum portion of our site. eMuseum support provided the design team with instructions on how to create and implement the new skin. The new skin was then applied to our current collection pages with the collaborative help of the design firm, eMuseum support and our IT department. It updated our look without changing the functionality of the site.  https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://emuseum.nasher.duke.edu/&k=diZKtJPqj4jWksRIF4bjkw%3D%3D%0A&r=XTJzpIcEHE%2Fdpcfy6DYLFGXNnGz7Bd9JKTihuOsgjts%3D%0A&m=WdqUnSvpnviBRm3YZHW6fkOSJDnv%2F2g%2FCHdFAj9OclE%3D%0A&s=c5d10e767836a753d6d312ed4328888693e913cd5ee83830f2ae698e6c2ebe85

Good luck as you embark on your new web project - it sounds exciting.
Best regards,

Hello all.
Our institution is looking at a potential overhaul of our website, including adding a collection searching function. As we start looking at various web design companies I was wondering who else has recently undergone a website change and who is your designer.  If anyone has redone their website in the last two years and really liked the design firm you used, it would be great to hear from you.  If your collection is searchable, are you using eMuseum? Is it eMuseum out of the box or surface upgraded by a designer? If you went with something other than eMuseum, what did you choose?

Please feel free to respond to the group or to me individually. [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>

Thank you for your time.
