Erie Art Museum Launches New Website
Erie, PA, February 29, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Erie Art Museum has launched its new website. The site, found at www.erieartmuseum.org, offers visitors new, user-friendly access to information about the Museum’s programs, membership, classes, workshops, donations and more.
“The website’s new enhanced interactivity allows users to register for classes, join the Museum, shop the online store and donate to the Museum’s annual fund or capital campaign,” said Tammy Roche, director of Marketing and Development for the Erie Art Museum. “Previously visitors were not able to perform these functions. Additionally, business benefits have been gained by Museum staff as we are now able to maintain the website internally because of a unique content management system.”
The website was created by Dibello Design and Erie Art Museum Publication Coordinator Andrea Krivak. It was partially funded by an IT Kickstart Grant from EbizIT.
