Deciding how best to present these to the end user sat at the core of the usability and design challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"863\" src=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-home-1024x863.png\" alt=\"Plymhearts - homepage\" data-id=\"1399\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-home.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/project\/plymouth-arts-heritage\/plymhearts-home\/\" class=\"wp-image-1399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-home-1024x863.png 1024w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-home-300x253.png 300w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-home-768x647.png 768w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-home-600x505.png 600w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-home.png 1257w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-events-1024x520.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1398\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-events.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/project\/plymouth-arts-heritage\/plymhearts-events\/\" class=\"wp-image-1398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-events-1024x520.png 1024w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-events-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-events-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-events-600x304.png 600w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-events.png 1204w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-megamenu-1024x514.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1397\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-megamenu.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/project\/plymouth-arts-heritage\/plymhearts-megamenu\/\" class=\"wp-image-1397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-megamenu-1024x514.png 1024w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-megamenu-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-megamenu-768x386.png 768w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-megamenu-600x301.png 600w, https:\/\/thirty8.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/plymhearts-megamenu.png 1199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The approach we took was to develop an overarching look and feel&nbsp;which applies to the whole site but with subtle and&nbsp;consistent colouring for the museum subsections. This helps to&nbsp;maintain a sense of&nbsp;&#8220;way-pointing&#8221; for users&nbsp;wherever they are in the site.&nbsp;Within the WordPress dashboard we use our modular system so that editors can rapidly include content from any of the museums; thus if&nbsp;an editor is writing about one museum but wants to include an event, news article or simple link to another they can do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;mega-menu&#8221; provides further help to anyone who wants to rapidly get to the content they need for any museum; the events area of the site further extends the means by which users can either focus on the particular museum they&#8217;re interested in or expand their reach in order to see events for the whole service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are continuing to work with the team to roll out collections online using our open-source <a href=\"http:\/\/cultureobject.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CultureObject<\/a> plugin: watch this space for further developments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team at Plymouth Arts and Heritage Service approached us in January 2016.
