The Process
Marsh's Library, a historic gem nestled in Dublin, required a website that could bridge the gap between its scholarly and cultural roles. The challenge was to create a digital space that would appeal to both researchers and casual visitors, while honouring the library's rich history. To achieve this, we designed a website that is both informative and visually captivating.
We incorporated vivid videos, striking photography, and creative illustrations to bring the library's unique character to life. By using innovative design techniques, we aimed to set Marsh's Library apart from traditional library websites.
The website is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, providing a seamless experience for visitors. It offers a glimpse into the library's history, its collections, and its ongoing activities. Whether you're a scholar seeking rare manuscripts or a curious visitor exploring Dublin's cultural heritage, the website provides a virtual window into this remarkable institution.
Research
To create a website that caters to the diverse user needs of researchers, scholars, and general visitors, we conducted in-depth user research. This involved understanding the different motivations and behaviours of each user group
Concept & Wireframes
A clear information architecture was developed to organise the website's content in a logical and intuitive way. This involved categorizing information and creating a site map that would guide users through the website. A content strategy was also developed to ensure that the content was engaging, informative, and relevant to the target audience.
Design & High Fidelity Prototype
The website was designed to reflect the library's historical significance and modern appeal. A visually appealing design, a user-friendly interface, and accessibility features were prioritised. The website was optimised for various screen sizes to ensure a seamless user experience.
