Hi Rhiannon
I am web manager at Wolverhampton Arts and Museums, funded under
temporary contracts for the last 4 years and in that time I have been in
the Collections team, Marketing team, Education team and have now
returned to Collections team. The moves have been the result of staff
changes and have usually reflected what our main concerns with the
website where at that time but I think do show that there is an issue of
where to put web people within a small organisation that isn't big
enough to have a dedicated IT or web team.
But does it really matter - our website has had very good customer
feedback in a recent evaluation study and has also just been voted Black
Country tourism website of the year! The main thing is that all staff
support the website and provide content to whoever is trying to maintain
/ develop it.

Subject: Position of web people within an organisation
Dear all,
I know this has been a topic of conversation in the industry before but
I'm interested to find out where 'web people' sit within your
organisational structures. Are they part of marketing, an independent
department, part of IT, part of learning, exhibitions etc etc? I
suppose feeding in to this, it would be interesting to know which
places, other than the 'big guns' even have their own dedicated web
people.
Feel free to reply off list if you think it's more appropriate.
Thanks a lot
Rhiannon Looseley
