Site Santa Fe

SITE SANTA FE WILL INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY TO ITS DIGITAL CONTENT BY CREATING A DYNAMIC, BILINGUAL WEBSITE. BUILT IN 1996 WITH A 2012 RENOVATION TO ADAPT TO MOBILE USAGE, THE CURRENT WEBSITE HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY OUTDATED AND INADEQUATE IN REPRESENTING THE WORK OF CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MUSEUMS PUBLIC PROGRAMMING AND PLACE-BASED ACTIVATIONS. A WEBSITE CONTENT MANAGER WILL BE HIRED TO WORK WITH THE PROJECT TEAM ON ASSESSING THE MUSEUM’S CURRENT RESOURCES, WORKING WITH A WEB DESIGN FIRM ON THE NEW WEBSITE, AND CREATING CONTENT. A TWO-YEAR FELLOWSHIP WILL BE CREATED TO ASSESS THE DIGITAL ASSETS FROM PREVIOUS EXHIBITIONS AND CONVERT OLDER FORMAT RECORDINGS OR IMAGES. AS A RESULT, WEBSITE USERS WILL EXPERIENCE AN ACCESSIBLE, STREAMLINED SITE WITH ENGAGING CONTENT AND INTUITIVE NAVIGATION, WHILE STAFF WILL BENEFIT FROM EFFICIENT OPERATIONS.
