Located on the site of the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, South Wales, the Royal Mint Museum aims to advance the education of the public in the history of coins and medals and the history of the Royal Mint.
2018 marked the 50th anniversary of the Royal Mint’s move from London to Llantrisant. The Royal Mint Museum wanted to raise awareness of the anniversary by creating a microsite that would gather images and information about the move and encourage people to share their own memories.
After a briefing workshop with the client, our user experience design specialists created a site map and user journey that would allow visitors to find the information that they were looking for quickly and easily.
This was achieved by creating Learn, Explore and Share sections of the microsite.
The Learn and Explore areas broke down into subsections featuring content and images relating to the people, events and production process at the Royal Mint.
The Share portion of the site allowed visitors to upload their own images and memories from the last 50 years.
Allowing people to share their own memories of the Royal Mint from the last 50 years was an important aspect of the microsite.
With its responsive website design, visitors to the site could upload their photographs on any device, from a smartphone or tablet to a desktop or laptop.
