Internet meeting 3/8/96

Where should data reside?  In Dayton, Boston or both?

We’re thinking that there should just be an initial page in Dayton with links to Boston.

This would save bandwidth for Dayton.

If we do web hosting, we’d probably want to put their files on Boston’s server also.

Pieces of site:

            common header, footer, toolbar

            helper apps page with links for Amber, Shockwave, etc.

            map page

We’re going to use the Jeffrey West poster as a base graphic, with sections for different divisions, etc.

We need to get our one or two initial pages up quickly.

Bill would like to put a PDF of the Jeffrey West poster with web links in it.  People could run Acrobat and click on links to our pages.

We should have an “organization chart” map showing the structure of our site(s).

What do we need for the initial pages?

Do we have marketing content by division to fill pages?

We should look at the Adobe home page (www.adobe.com); DMG’s favorite.

Additional limitations:

            Download speed

We need to look at pages in 800x600 mode as well as 640x480 mode, in Windows as well as Macintosh.

Todd designed new Mazer logo.  DMG feels the fine lines in it need to be adjusted for computer screens.

Bill Pflaum wants Kim Grome involved in writing the copy for the page.
