Message-ID: db4pr03mb07357b05078cd42b7cacd3dab7...@db4pr03mb0735.eurprd03.prod.outlook.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Dear All, I was recently asked about some pie charts of mobile access to the VA I put out a year or two ago showing mobile trends and if the same trends were showing the same. Here's a short post on what I found when I checked earlier today. http://www.vam.ac.uk/blog/digital-media/mobile-and-tablet-access-trends It that shows the mobile/tablet/desktop traffic breakdown trends for 2012 - 2015 The data tells us that... * Mobile breakdown is still different on different types of content (visitor information sessions much higher than site average) * For traffic averaged on all pages it has grown to about a quarter * On visits with a visitor information page it's now about a third of all traffic * Desktop access is now in the minority on visitor information sessions (about 48% - rest is mobile/tablet) * Tablet access appears to have peaked in 2014. In other words - responsive websites is a standard requirement (duh!), but if you have to prioritise resource start with identifying your high mobile content. There's a quick bit on how to look up this data on your own site. enjoy Andrew Lewis Digital Content Delivery Manager Digital Media Victoria and Albert Museum | South Kensington | London | SW7 2RL T: +44 (0)20 7942 2373 linkd.in/andrewlewishttp://linkd.in/andrewlewis Visit www.vam.ac.ukhttp://www.vam.ac.uk/ and www.vandashop.com http://www.vandashop.com/ Like Victoria and Albert Museum https://www.facebook.com/victoriaandalbertmuseum?ref=ts and VA Shop https://www.facebook.com/pages/VA-Shop/127791180573396 on Facebook Follow the VAhttps://twitter.com/V_and_A and VA Shop https://twitter.com/V_and_A_Shop on Twitter Digital Media on the VA blog: www.vam.ac.uk/digital http://www.vam.ac.uk/digital Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty 14 March - 2 August 2015 at VA South Kensington In partnership with Swarovski Book now on www.vam.ac.uk/savagebeautyhttp://www.vam.ac.uk/savagebeauty See the exhibition for free if you join as a VA Member www.vam.ac.uk/membershttp://www.vam.ac.uk/members Small Stories: At Home in a Doll's House Until 6 September 2015 at VA Museum of Childhood Admission free Keep in touch Sign up for VA e-newsletters www.vam.ac.uk/signup http://www.vam.ac.uk/signup/ Become a fan on Facebook.com/VictoriaandAlbertMuseum http://www.facebook.com/VictoriaandAlbertMuseum Follow us on Twitter.com/V_and_Ahttp://www.twitter.com/V_and_A This message is intended solely for the use of the individual or organisation to whom it is addressed.

[MCN-L] Estimating Website Redesign Costs
Hello all, Apologies for cross postings between MCN (LinkedIn Group), MW (LinkedIn) and the MCN - Listserv. I've recently started a new position at the Cantor Art Center at Stanford University and my first big task is managing a redesign of the website. I've already done some online research and talked to some incredibly knowledgable people, but I'm still curious about how museums approach the cost estimation for a website redesign? The new site will: - Be responsive for desktop and mobile devices - Be Drupal based - Probably need about 5-8 templates designed - Better integrate Gallery Systems Web Kiosk - Integrate with Stanford's gift/donation system - Integrate an events management system such as EventBrite or 25 Live Any real world figures would be very helpful if you are at liberty to share privately. Also, how long the redesign process took from start to finish. I'd love to hear your stories. Thanks in advance!
