With the spread of Internet, it can promote the　international visibility of our college websites. Also, because of the promotion of　Taiwan e-Learning and Digital Archives Program, the concept of digital archive has　spread out among colleges. 　　As the digital photographing and website designing improves, more than 90　percent of designing departments have collected students’ works that won prizes onto　their websites, which is the initial type of digital archive. But these archives don’t　have the standards of Metadata and are inconv　nient to operate on interfaces. If you　make a comprehensive survey of the digital archives of designing departments, you will　find it no more than cooperation with industry-university cooperation, works that wins　prizes, learning achievements, exhibition of works, designed topics of graduate works. 　　This project intends to improve the shortcomings of digital archives of commercial　design. Besides, it has been combined into National Taichung Institute of Technology’s　websites to share the information of students’ works, so the waste of repeated uploading　can be avoided. 　　Therefore, this project intends to set the standards of Metadata. By analyzing the　basic structure of national and international departments of design as well as the digital　archives and using usability testing, we invited 6 experimental subjects to adopt“thinking aloud” into the actual testing of building up a website and found 6 technical　problems. Three major problems have been solved after the discussion of our　professional team; we expect to take advantage of the uploading system in the website　to cultivate the tradition of uploading students’ works of the department into the website. 　　With the accumulation of the document and image sorts of resources, the website　can last for long. At last, we should collect the difficulties that occur while putting this　project into practice and advices; offer them to the website master of the department for　references.
