# Museum website design that helps visitors plan the day. > Website design for museums that puts hours, tickets, and what is on view first, then gives exhibitions, events, and memberships a clear place online.

Our website design for museums puts those answers first, then the exhibitions and programs worth the trip. [Talk about your museum](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/talk-to-a-specialist/) Explore the services Services ## The work that brings visitors in. Each service below answers a question visitors have before they commit a day. Start with the one your front desk hears most. *Museums* **### Web Design** For museums when visitors cannot find hours, admission, and what is on view in one place. A clear plan-your-visit page and exhibition pages answer most of it. Start here when the front desk answers the same visit questions every day. [Explore Web Design](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/services/design/web-design/) **### Event Management** For museums when timed entry, tours, talks, and family days each need tickets or sign-ups. One system, reviewed and confirmed first, keeps capacity and attendee lists together. Start here when events and general admission are sold in different places. [Explore Event Management](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/services/development/event-management/) **### Local SEO** For museums when tourists and locals search for things to do nearby. Your listing needs current hours, exhibitions, and photos that match the site. Start here when your map listing shows old hours or a closed exhibition. [Explore Local SEO](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/services/optimization/local-seo/) **### Email Marketing** For museums when members and past visitors would return for a new exhibition. A regular note about openings, member days, and events keeps them close. Start here when members hear about events only if they check the site. [Explore Email Marketing](https://scayverstaging.1wp.site/services/marketing/email-marketing/) Disciplines ## Museums, discipline by discipline. What each service family must get right in this field. Open one to see its services. Customer journey ## Follow one visit from idea to arrival. Pick a real weekend day. Plan a visit on a phone as a family would, and note each question the site leaves open. Decide to go Plan the day Get tickets Stay connected ### What is on, and is it for us? Show current and upcoming exhibitions with dates, a strong image, and who each one suits. What the website needs to do Label family programs, and note content some visitors may want to know about in advance. Next: plan the practical details. ### When are you open, and what does it cost? Put hours, admission, timed entry, parking, food, and accessibility details on one page. Publish only prices and policies the museum has confirmed, and date any seasonal changes. Next: get tickets. ### Do I need to book ahead? Say plainly whether tickets are required, recommended, or sold at the door. Tell visitors when a link opens the ticketing system, and what the confirmation will include. Next: arrive with tickets ready. ### How do we hear about the next exhibition? Offer the newsletter and membership after the visit is planned, not before. Explain member benefits in plain terms, using only benefits the museum offers today. Next: a member or a repeat visit. Information ## Website design for museums with what visitors need before they go. A museum competes with every other plan for a free day. The site has to answer practical questions quickly and show why the visit is worth the trip. Plan your visit ### Visit details scattered across pages Hours on one page, prices on another, and parking in a PDF make planning hard. Put the practical answers together on a single page. Current shows ### Exhibitions that end without notice Closed shows left online cause disappointment at the door. Give each exhibition dates so it moves to the archive on time. Access details ### Access information visitors can trust Step-free routes, seating, sensory-friendly times, and accessible parking matter to many visitors. Publish what the museum has confirmed. Member value ### Memberships that are hard to explain Levels and benefits often read like a price table. Show what a member actually gets and how to join or renew. Local search ## Be the obvious plan for a day out. Tourists and locals search for things to do nearby, often on the same day. Keep the details they check consistent everywhere. 1. ### Keep listings current Update hours, holiday closures, and admission on your map listing whenever the site changes. 2. ### Show what is on now Add current exhibitions and events to your listing, with photos you have the rights to use. 3. ### Explain the arrival Describe parking, transit, entrances, and group drop-off on the visit page, and link it from every ticket confirmation. Process ## Who takes each part. Exhibitions rotate, hours change by season, and events sell out. Clear ownership keeps the site as current as the galleries. 1. Scayver Graphix ### Build the visit and exhibition pages Create a plan-your-visit page and an exhibition template with dates, images, and credits. 2. Together ### Review the ticketing system Check what your ticketing and membership tools allow, and confirm the links or connections before building. 3. Your team ### Keep hours and exhibitions current Update seasonal hours, closures, and exhibition dates as soon as they are set. 4. Together ### Plan member and visitor emails Schedule emails for openings, member days, and events ahead of each season. Readiness ## Bring what the front desk knows. Rough notes are fine. They show us the visit from the first search to the door. This checklist stays in your browser and sends nothing. Select the inputs you have ready. More specialties ## More beside Museums. Other specialty pages under Art and Education.

Some offer a checkout that sits inside a page, and others work better as one ticket page with date and time choices. We test the option on phones, including in-app browsers opened from social posts, and agree the setup with you first. **### How do we show collection objects online?** Start with highlights, each with an image, a caption, and credits you have the rights to publish. A larger online collection may come from your collections system, which we review before planning. **### Can members renew online?** Often, if your membership system supports online renewal. The site can explain the levels and link to the renewal path. We confirm what your system allows first. **### How do we keep closed exhibitions off the site?** Give each exhibition a start and end date. When a show closes, it can move to the past exhibitions archive, so visitors see only what is on view.
