Accessible Rebuild of Local Museum Collection Websites
I would rebuild an outdated local museum collection site so visitors can browse object descriptions, images and visit information on phones and assistive tools.
Read the full overview
The museum would approve rights and text. I would migrate records, design clear search and navigation, add image descriptions with curatorial review, redirect old pages and train staff to update entries.

The breakdown
A collection site can hold useful material but be hard to navigate or maintain. A focused rebuild makes the content easier to discover and edit.

The Blueprint
Who actually pays you
Museum trustees and curators commission the project. I would approach them with a sample object-page prototype.
How the money works
Charge for audited migration and build, then optional hosting and content support.
Your edge
I would preserve object identifiers and source links so old references still lead to the right record.
Why it works, what will hurt, and the verdict
Why it works
- Visitors can use collection content more easily.
- Staff get a practical editing workflow.
What will hurt
- Incomplete records need curatorial work.
- Image rights may restrict publication.
Verdict
This fits a web team that treats migration as editorial work, not just a visual redesign.
