An advisory committee, the Deputy Director/Chief Operating Officer, Head of IT, Web Master (in the IT & New Media dept) and then Head of Development, Editorial, Photography, Education, Curatorial, PR, Library. The IT & NM dept designs, builds, maintains the site. It is hosted by an outside vendor and we use a lot of low cost third party software database solutions like an online calendar and events management solution, an ecommerce store, a collections management system which are all designed to meld into one consistent look for the site. We are just beginning a redesign (in house) and a move to Drupal but that will take months and months with such a small team.
Basically the IT & NM Web team presents solutions to the committee but sometimes committee members ask questions, suggest something and it is discussed and agreed upon. I think the key to our success is having involvement at the top level and a lot of dialogue and collegiality. We met weekly initially, then bi-weekly and now after two years, we meet monthly.
