A new approach for the creation of a non-profit website with the example of a regional museum

In the engineering of Internet applications the main demand is to concentrate on interests of the user. That means that the user is predetermined. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for the case when the stakeholder is not a user and the final user is not sharply defined. This situation is typical for design of a website for a non-profit rural regional museum. The first stages in this case consist of; the creation the user's model for the regional museum's website; the study of characteristics of existing successful regional museum sites, the creation of a quick prototype of the site taking into account characteristic features of successful sites; the use of the prototype for monitoring the users' behavior and organizing direct feedback with them. In this article basic elements of these new first stages are considered and shown by example in the creation of a prototype website for future sites for regional museums in the southeast region of Mexico.
