For museums & historic sites
Your story deserves visitors who can find it.
For small museums, historical societies, and historic sites on the North Shore and across Massachusetts. Clear websites that help people plan a visit, discover your programs, and understand why your place matters.
What visitors look for
Most people arrive with a few simple questions.
Before they ever read your history, visitors want to know if they can come, when, and what it will be like. A good site answers those in seconds, then invites them deeper into the story.
When are you open?
Hours, seasonal changes, and holiday closures as plain text, kept current.
How do I get there?
Address, parking, public transit, and a map link that works on phones.
What is happening?
Events, tours, and programs in a list that volunteers can update.
Is it accessible?
Honest details about entrances, stairs, seating, and restrooms.
Why does it matter?
Your history and collections, told in a way that makes people want to come.
How can I help?
Membership, volunteering, and donations, with a simple link to the tools you already use.
Built for small teams
Made to be kept up by the people you have.
Many historical organizations run on a small staff, a board, and dedicated volunteers. The site should fit that reality.
- A structure simple enough that a volunteer can update hours or an event
- A short written guide so knowledge stays with the organization when people change roles
- Donation, membership, and ticketing handled as simple links to the platform you already use
- Care plans that keep things current through busy seasons, including October on the North Shore
- Accounts and hosting in the organization’s name, never an individual’s

If your organization is applying to a program such as IMLS Museums for America or Inspire! Grants for Small Museums, and a website or digital access project is part of it, I am happy to provide a free, itemized quote for the web portion of your budget.
I do not write grant applications or guarantee funding. Always confirm current deadlines and requirements directly with the funder at imls.gov.
