Museum of Science and Industry Wins Webby People's Voice Award
customedialabs, an award-winning interactive marketing communications agency based in Wayne, PA, was the lead web developer for Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry's website. By providing the museum with an open-source TYPO3 content management system, customedialabs helped contribute to the organization's recent success at the 2009 Webby Awards.
Wayne, PA, July 31, 2009 --(PR.com)-- We all know the Greeks invented the concept of democracy. It’s only fitting, then, that a Greek-American agency helped Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) garner that most democratic of all website honors, the Webby Awards’ People’s Voice Award.
Last year, customedialabs was the lead web developer for MSI’s website. The new site was built on TYPO3, an open-source, scalable, enterprise-level Content Management System (CMS). This robust, highly available CMS, amongst many other benefits, empowered museum employees to create, edit and upload content and images as often as needed through an intuitive, user-centric interface.
“It’s insane how much easier it is to create new content and edit old. Site structure, design and the CMS have all had a huge play here,” said Steven Beasley, MSI’s Manager, Web and Interactive Media.
customedialabs’ web-development skills, combined with the intuitive user experience designed by Odopod, a San Francisco-based agency, led to the Webby People’s Voice Award win—a significant achievement, as the awards this year were based on the opinions of more than 500,000 people around the world. The internationally renowned Webby Awards are considered by The New York Times to be the “Internet’s highest honor.”
