How strong is your museum’s website as part of the whole offer? Does it reflect your identity as an organisation? Does it appeal to your visitors? What does it really need? Are there trends to pay attention to? Others to ignore? Makes the site appealing? What mistakes can you avoid?If your work involves museum websites these will be questions you’ll have to tackle, whether you’re commissioning a new site or just trying to keep the current one healthy.

This post will take you through the essential ways in which your site needs to answer key visitor questions for 2017. First, we’ll spin through the process we used. Then, the main points: three key groups of questions your site needs to answer for your visitors. Finally, a dive into the building blocks that help a site work particularly effectively. Hopefully, you’ll finish the post with a fresh perspective on your own site: you’ll be able to identify how to make it work better for your visitors and advocate for effective change as part of your organisation’s strategy. Of course, we threw some sites we built at Cogapp into the mix too.

Visitor questions for 2017. First, we’ll spin through the process we used. Then, the main points: three key groups of questions your site needs to answer for your visitors.

Gaynor Hebden-Smith creates bespoke hand crafted pieces of jewellery and accessories using a contemporary combination of reclaimed sea glass, sterling silver, metals, beads and crystals. She collects all the sea glass used in her designs from the beautiful coastlines of Scotland’s beaches.

The glass used has found its way into the sea either accidentally or through littering. Over the years the power of the sea naturally breaks and tumbles the glass, resulting in the uniquely shaped, smooth and frosted pieces of sea treasure.

As no two pieces of sea glass found and used are ever the same, wearers know that a piece of Scottish Sea Glass is truly one of a kind.

David Meredith was born in Leicester, England in 1973. He was educated at the Leicester College of Art where he aspired to a job as an illustrator. However, a chance meeting with his future employer at the end-of-year exhibition led David to a career in the pewter industry. He has worked as a sculptor professionally for the past 16 years.

David started as an apprentice model-maker working in minute detail for the jewellery and giftware industry. Within two years he had become the head sculptor but he felt it was the right time to leave and pursue his own work through galleries and private commissions. He did continue to work for the giftware industry in a freelance capacity and sculpted for many of the leading names of the time.

One of his favourite commissions was working on projects for theme parks, including a fifty foot dragon for a rollercoaster ride; “it’s not everyday you get to work on something that big – I loved every moment of it!”

David now concentrates his efforts on wildlife sculpture produced in bronze which is exhibited in galleries nationwide. He is a passionate supporter of many wildlife charities.

George Young Pottery - Tweed Art Peebles

George Young Pottery

Craft Makers, Featured Craft Makers

George Young is a potter. He went to art college in Dundee and taught pottery at Peebles High School before setting up his own pottery.

The problem with pottery is that when you’re buying a pot, you’re buying a piece of time. It’s not like a machine that you can turn the knob up and make it go faster, it’s not like a warehouse where you can just go and get another box off the shelf if people want more things. Each thing takes a specific amount of time.

It’s totally labour intensive. And especially when you do everything… I mix the clay, I mix the glazes, I make the pots, fire them, decorate them, glaze them. All the processes, each one of those takes a certain amount of time.
