Users

A study of the National Museum of Liverpool's museum website highlighted the importance of understanding museum website users and their motivations in the effective design of their online experiences. They found that museum website users were:

Table showin 23% experts and 77% general population

and categorised them into groups based on their motivations

Explorers

personal curiosity

Experience Seekers

see and experience a place

specific knowledge-related goals

Therefore, I based my user personas to include people in these groups. However, as this space is also for Genovian artists to share their work, I included Katie, a local artist:

Opportunities

Following these users’ journey maps, I explored their potential activities, goals, needs, and challenges regarding navigating the museum.


I then grouped those challenges together (red) along with ideas for how I could meet those needs (yellow).


This helped me identify the major components of museum websites and opportunities to meet user needs:

Competitive Audit

I also did a competitive audit of other museum websites, focusing on how they tackled these problems and how they organised their sites.


I took a lot of inspiration from many of these sites as I wanted to keep things familiar for users and used events and exhibitions from these museums in my designs.
