We can provide any size of web site from a single page for a small museum or gallery to a full-scale internet solution for a national establishment.

The sites we create are aesthetically pleasing, easy to use and comply with NOF and Bobby accessibility guidelines for people with disabilities and visual impairments. As well as RNIB and W3C guidelines which are a legal requirement under the terms of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Act 2003. YOUR SITE COULD BE BREAKING THE LAW. See our [Accessibility Page] for more details.

As well as acting as an easy to update on-line brochure for the everyday activities of your museum or gallery your website can be used to publicise special events, exhibitions, workshops, education and outreach programmes or wedding services.

Users of the site will get a taste of the visitor experience and can request further information on-line or by e-mail.

Funding is often available for web projects from your local Museums Service or other funding bodies.

With search engine registration your site can be found anywhere in the world which can attract visitors from both the UK and abroad

A hit counter is provided as standard to monitor the success of your site and help with performance indicators.

In addition to the usual web site features we can include on-line shopping, e-postcards, a virtual tour, on-line competition voting and an enquiries or feedback form.

We also specialise in digitalisation of collections via scanning or high-quality digital photography. We can provide a searchable database to allow site users to view images and descriptions of objects which are on display or in store.

We can provide a Java programming service which can bring a whole new level of functionality and interactivity to your site in the form of dynamic menus .

We can update your current site if you have one, just tell us the address and we'll give you our recommendations to increase usability and functionality.

Astley Hall Museum and Art Gallery	Lancashire Museums Service	Lancaster Museums Service
This site was redesigned two years after we did the original to give it a fresh look to reflect the increasing importance and changing role of the site to the establishment. The site was used to publicise exhibitions, events, wedding services, education and outreach programmes and to promote associated groups. It features a continuously expanding catalogue of the Hall's collections. An enquiries form is featured which means staff spent much less time dealing with telephone calls. The site has now been absorbed into the borough council's own site.	Totally redesigned after dissatisfaction with the previous site by another company, Imagined is the site for The Lancashire Museums Education Cluster Group consisting of representatives from sixteen museums and galleries. It served to promote Educational activities to teachers and schools via a series of brief summaries accessible through various menus, including a Java drop-down menu. The site complies fully with NOF and Bobby guidelines for accessibility as requested in the site brief. The site is no longer in use.	The Lancaster Museums Service site was designed to give both pre and post visit support to school parties. It provided advice to teachers on planning and preparing children for visits Post-visit support is in the form of on-line stories told by various characters from the past. Worksheets in PDF format can be downloaded and printed out for use in class. The site is no longer in use due to the takeover of Lancaster museums service by Lancs CC.
