Congratulations to MOMs and especially Robbie and Heather. The new website looks beautiful! I have been poking around it a bit the past week and so far have been able to find everything I have needed.
Good work, guys.
Best,

Dear all,
I want to congratulate Robbie and Heather for doing such a masterful job with the MoMS new website. As you can see by their beautiful work, they are quite the dynamic duo. You would never know that they are both self-trained webmasters! The sight was completely done in-house and represents a ton of work, clarity of thinking, and creative design skills.
Thanks to both of you for a job well done!
Carol

Subject: MoMS Website
Everyone,
We’re excited to announce the launch of the newly redesigned Museum on Main Street website (www.museumonmainstreet.org). A few of you have happened upon the new site over the past couple of weeks as we’ve been making final edits and preparations. Thanks for your comments!
We hope that you’ll find the new site easier to navigate and search and rich with media related to MoMS exhibitions. Our social media resources are an easy mouse-click away. And, we’ve got a sleek, contemporary design and color palette.
A few things you’ll notice as you navigate the site:
n Functions specific to the administration of MoMS and its exhibitions are all now available in a menu over the keyword search box at the upper right. Here, you’ll find support information for host councils and communities (under “For Exhibitors”), press information, and contact information.
n The “public” functions – information on exhibitions, where to visit, education, and exhibition media -- are all in the lower 80% of the screen. But, exhibition-related support information can still be accessed from the information pages for each exhibition. Hopefully, no matter how visitors access the site, they should be able to easily locate information important to them.
n The new main MoMS site is closely integrated with the Stories from Main Street website that rolled out in September 2011. If you haven’t given the Stories website a spin, check it out at www.storiesfrommainstreet.org.
The whole MoMS team extends its appreciation to Heather Foster, SITES’ webmaster, who led the redesign effort. Rebuilding our website from top to bottom was more than a year in the making and we couldn’t have done it without Heather’s eye for good design, web knowledge, and clear understanding of MoMS’ mission. Heather is also the person behind most of the publications developed for MoMS shows over the past several years, so she knows us very well!
Please give the site a test drive and let us know what you think. We still have some documents to link in some sections. If you see an error or typo, please do let me know!
Best wishes,
RD
