State-of-the-art analysis of armémuseum's webpage


When I land on the home page of armémusem’s web page it’s not that hard for me to take in the featured information since it follows many heuristics of web design. For example the row of tabs at the top of the page for general navigation as well as the way the rest of the page is built using four columns to group the content.
One of the columns on the home page contains a calendar making it really easy to find the specific showing you want to go see.
Another column features a link to a page dedicated to information about how to get to the museum. Also featured in this column is information regarding prices and open hours which is great to have so readily available on the home page since it must be one of the major reasons most people visit the page.

One thing I would like to see when I click on an event in the calendar is more info about the event, such as the name of the guide of a showing.

It appears to me as if the target group for the web page doesn’t include seniors because of thin and small text they use; instead they seem to be targeting a younger audience (families with kids etc).

The use of the museum’s two “trademark” colours - one a bluish green, the other a yellowish green - throughout the website is great as it binds the site and the museum together.

One major flaw with the website is the lack of responsive web design which makes it sub-optimal when viewing it on a mobile phone or similar since you have to zoom and scroll to read/view the content.
