The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, CT is America's oldest public art museum. Its budgets rival large organizations nationwide. Over US$200,000 in net proceeds is raised annually by the Atheneum's Women's Committee during its December Festival of Trees & Traditions alone.

The presentational challenges were numerous. The site must be cordially inviting to elegant black-tie socialites as well as to children's activities seekers. Navigational elements need to be at the surface and absolutely clear cut. And it must appeal to followers of any faith during the multi-cultural holiday season. The challenges were met with a well-mannered, cheerful design.

My digital baby. ADE Corporation's Intranet. I took it from birth to college grad to serve over 500 employees worldwide. It's been well-bred: database-driven interactive pages, user-updated content, network integrated security. And it stayed on its best behavior when weary road warrior cousins were out of town.

Page seven of the visuals on your left depicts an experimental Intranet I created using Microsoft's SharePoint Portal Server. Although MS SPPS has many noteworthy features, ADE decided to keep raising the natural-birth (my hand-coded, that is) Intranet child. <sigh> They grow so fast...

ADE Corporation's six web sites were in the early stages of reconstruction until the project yielded to economic realities. Initially driven by one division's need to upgrade its site to conduct e-commerce, the project soon expanded into a corporate-wide endeavor.

Tactical measures taken included: better integrating the six domains and two hosting providers, improving navigation throughout the large number of active and legacy product information areas, and better controlling the use of shared source files.
