Project and goals

Usability for Art's Sake

The main objective of this project is to analyze the Uffizi Gallery website, identify how it is used by creating personas and user journeys, compare it with similar websites in Italy and abroad, and redesign it to improve the user experience.

UX Research

Use Analysis

Before redesigning the user interface, it was necessary to analyse the current website to find out which types of users access it, how they use it and what they want to achieve.

Benchmark websites analysis

Once the personas had been defined, a series of websites belonging to other museums and galleries were analysed to identify areas of improvement on the Uffizi Gallery website.

Benchmark

Analysis of websites with comparable annual visitor numbers and budgets to those of the Uffizi.

Pameters:
Quantitative:
- Localization (number of languages available)
- Loading speed
- Information availability
- Ease of purchasing tickets (task analysis score)
Qualitative:
- Emotion
- Graphic coherence
- Mobile responsiveness

Implementation

User Journey and redesign

Based on the analysis carried out, we created a user journey map and developed a proposal for an effective and stylistically refined user interface using this data. The design incorporates stylistic elements of Renaissance art and typography.
