Whanganui Regional Museum is one of New Zealand’s leading provincial museums with a substantial collection housed within an iconic building. When asked to design their new website, we took the building’s front facade as our first point of reference to give the feeling that approaching the museum through the website is akin to approaching the museum through its front doors.
Key functionality includes a simple, bespoke event calendar system, a booking system for school visits, and simple eCommerce to enable donations and Friends of The Museum membership subscriptions.
Museum staff are empowered to manage content development through custom settings that allow them to insert new images and other content into the site layout without needing to worry about design or page layout.
A full eCommerce system is planned for the future, taking the Museum Store online to make iconic Whanganui-designed and produced art, books, jewellery available to the world.
