User Pain Points
Pain Point
Pain Point
"Art museums don’t tend to have enough information about how to get involved with the museum. For example, volunteering opportunities and upcoming events."
"Sourcing of the artifacts in the museum is too vague and not detailed enough. An interactive map with more detailed information about how the artifact(s) were obtained and the context/importance of each object would be very helpful."
Pain Point
"I work for the Sandy Spring Museum and the website overall feels disorganized and chaotic. There is also a lack of information on featured artists on the website itself and patrons have to request this information."
