As for need to apply the same high standards to museum website design as
hopefully would be applied to the physical site, fair point...
As for reason or relevance of the Museum Webguide as currently conceived,
can't see the point myself!

Subject: Museum Webguide
Having looked at the museum webguide, I can't help thinking that it's taking
a very negative approach. Surely it would be better to showcase and
celebrate good practice, rather than to 'name and shame' what a critic feels
to be bad practice - after all, even the museum webguide site itself
contains an obvious typo... ;-)
Many museums are charities that are scraping by on a shoestring budget, it's
hardly surprising that some of the things they do are restricted in terms of
commercial 'polish' - and I'm not just talking about web sites!
I'm all for raising standards, just not sure that this is the best way to do
it.
What do other MCG'ers think?
Ian.
