Websites for museums and cultural organisations
We create websites for museums and cultural organisations with event programmes, collections and visit information. We give teams tools to tell stories about objects, exhibitions, research and people after launch.
We create museum websites with event programmes, collections and visitor information. We plan how a small team will update content and manage the programme.
Get to know the museum
We study the collection, programme and visitors’ questions. With the editor, we discuss what material the museum can prepare regularly.
- From you
- Programme, collection material and visitor information
- Step result
- Website scope and a plan for publications
Design the website
We choose ways to tell the museum’s stories. With a prototype, we check how visitors plan a trip and how editors prepare material.
- From you
- Sample publications and participation of the future editor
- Step result
- Website structure, design and publication templates
Build and populate
We develop the website and connect events, venues and content. We migrate material and check accessibility and image handling.
- From you
- Material with publication rights and access to connected systems
- Step result
- Working website with editor and content
Hand over to the editor
Together we publish a new piece and check whether connected details are easy to update. We hand over instructions and access.

- Source code, templates, access and editor instructions
How the website will live after launch
At launch, we can show only part of the collection, programme and knowledge of the people who work with them. We design the website so the team can gradually reveal more of this content.
An exhibition may need a distinctive narrative, an object a closer look and an education programme a clear invitation. We choose tools for these tasks with the people who will prepare the publications in mind.
Expression must be within reach of the editor
We examine how publications are really prepared and simplify repetitive work. This makes it possible to use rich formats in the ordinary editorial rhythm after launch.
We choose forms to suit the content and explain how to show an object in depth, connect several stories or invite someone to the museum. Editors can assemble a piece from ready-made blocks while preserving the website’s character.
Engagement helps plan a visit
An exhibition story helps someone plan a visit. Visitors need current information about opening times, directions and tickets on every related page.
We connect events, venues and schedules. When an editor changes one record, the programme, venue page and event details update together. This reduces repeated edits and helps visitors prepare for the trip.
A single record updates the programme
The editor changes the event date
In one record
Programme
New time in the calendar
Venue
Current schedule

Correct visit details
What changes with an event record?
A demonstration of connected data. One change should appear everywhere the event record is used.
Original time in the event record
Original time in the programme
Original time on the venue page
Original time on the event page
The connected pages show the original time.
New time in the event record
New time in the programme
New time on the venue page
New time on the event page
One record changed; all three views show the new time.
The connected pages show the original time.
Connected data saves the editor from repeated edits. The event can still be told in different ways.
Choose formats for the next publications
We match the set of features to the museum’s people, material and time. We choose what the team can maintain from the first release and what to add as the programme or collection grows.
We calculate hosting, image storage and maintenance in advance. We check mobile reading, accessibility and performance after announcements. When migrating material, we account for its addresses, relationships and image rights. The content must be both expressive and accessible.
Make the first independent publication together
We use material the team really plans to publish. The future editor works from the idea through publication, selects suitable forms and points out difficult steps.
We refine the tools and explanations based on that experience. We agree who will maintain the website and tailor training to that person’s tasks. Templates, instructions, source code, access and backups remain with the museum.
The museum’s people imagine what comes next
During handover, we discuss the editor’s next publication. They need to understand which form suits new material and how to assemble it independently.
The website can grow alongside the exhibitions, research and education programmes developed by the museum team.
What the work may include
Museum with several locations
Shared programme, opening hours and directions.
Exhibition project
Exhibits, stories and exhibition material.
Digital collection
Catalogue of objects, descriptions and search.
Cultural centre
Events, classes and programme booking.
