ARCHEO.info provides a unified Internet platform dedicated to institutions working in the field of archaeology or historic monuments.
With ARCHEO.info, information from the various museums, archaeological services, university institutions or associations is centralized in a single site, complementary to the existing sites and dynamically linked to them. Users can thus enjoy direct and easy access to all information provided by partner institutions.
For organizations that do not have their own site yet, ARCHEO.info is an effective communication tool.
With a unified infrastructure, communication expenses can be reduced and synergies generated.
This service enables its partners to strongly increase their visibility towards the public and specialists, and to spread their information more widely.
Each of the institutions is allocated pages to introduce its services and activities, and given the possibility to publish specific information about its field of activity. For museums, it could be their temporary exhibitions and publications; for archaeological services, radiocarbon data, etc.
All the published information is constantly updated. As an example, an update form is sent monthly to partner institutions.
ARCHEO.info also offers a translation service for web pages into French, German and English.
Any event (colloquium, exhibition, open day, conference, publication, etc.) is announced by a mailing service, storing thousands of addresses of professionals in archaeology and related sciences, or of people with a strong interest in this field.
ARCHEO.info aims to provide a high-quality service by offering a regular follow-up, an accurate content and a professional presentation. This goal can be achieved thanks to the cooperation of three people with a university cursus in archaeology, one database administrator and one webmaster.
The charge to pay for our services enables us to generate stable employments dedicated to this activity: a guarantee for continuity.
For an attractive fixed price per year, the partner institution will benefit of the creation and regular maintenance of information pages along with other services tailored to its specific needs.
Six months after its creation, ARCHEO.info had over 4 500 visits per month (Swiss and foreign users taken into account). Once the translations of the site are completed, we expect this number to reach some 10 000 visitors. The average time spent per visit exceeds 15 minutes and tends to prove that the content presented is of real interest.
Internet is a targeted mean of communication, which requires a self-motivated approach from the visitor. For this reason, the information provided has a lot more impact. ARCHEO.info gives institutions working in the field of archaeology the possibility to put this new media to good use.
ARCHEO.info does exist and has already gained the confidence of several institutions. Our team hopes to see you soon among its partners.
