OVERVIEW

The Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum website was redesigned to modernize its online presence and make it easier for visitors to explore exhibits, educational programs, events, and the museum's rich aviation history. The museum preserves Maryland's aerospace legacy while engaging future generations through interactive experiences.

SOLUTION

I designed a clean, responsive website with clear navigation, modern layouts, and engaging visual storytelling to help visitors easily discover exhibits, plan visits, and learn about Maryland's aviation heritage.

OUTCOME

The redesigned website creates a more accessible and engaging user experience while strengthening the museum's digital presence and supporting its mission to educate and inspire visitors through aviation history.

Before The Redesign

The Challenge

The museum needed a more intuitive digital experience that made important visitor information easier to find while still highlighting its aviation history and exhibits. The challenge was to organize a large amount of content into a clear hierarchy, simplify navigation, and create a modern interface that could serve both first-time visitors and aviation enthusiasts.

01 — Findability
Make hours, admission, directions, and visitor information easier to locate.

02 — Navigation
Group museum content into clear, predictable pathways.

03 — Visual Experience
Modernize the interface while maintaining the museum's historical and aviation-focused identity.

Information Architecture

I organized the sitemap around key visitor goals, grouping related content to improve findability and reduce cognitive load. The information architecture creates a clear hierarchy that helps users move naturally from discovery to information to action.

low fidelity wireframes

I created low-fidelity wireframes to explore the museum’s page structure, content hierarchy, and navigation before moving into visual design. This helped me identify where key visitor information such as exhibits, events, admission, hours, directions, and contact information should appear and allowed me to make layout adjustments early in the process.
