Abstract:The Benin Empire of Edo State, Nigeria, was one of the most popular empires in African civilization. It was also of major significance to Western civilization because of its unique artistic skills, which was an indication of an already developed society. Using audio/video recordings, interviews and desk research, the author captured aspects of the culture of the Binis and developed them into a web site. He also developed a native version of the site in the Bini language as part of an effort to promote African culture. A combination of hierarchical and linear web site design methods were used and usability tests were carried out among information specialists, Binis, and a couple of foreigners (a Cameroonian and a Ghanaian). The majority of the respondents rated the site highly in terms of navigation, location of information and aesthetic appeal, consistency, and ease of understanding of the content. Bibliogr., sum.
