During the site definition phase, we conducted an analysis of the aquarium's
existing site and a competitive analysis of other aquarium, zoo, museum and
conservation sites. We compared content and technology. Then we identified
areas of improvement and opportunities for the new E-Quarium.
With the results of our research, we detailed the content, project scope,
and preliminary site architecture. Informed by our visitor interviews, we
mapped out four scenarios (one for each of the target audiences) to predict
how visitors might interact and move through the site. We built several
prototypes; conducted usability tests; and finally, created a design that
continues to evolve today.
The E-Quarium's design, informed by over one hundred and forty people from
aquarium staff to visitors from all around the world, reflects our best
attempts to meet the Monterey Bay Aquarium's needs and desires. If the
E-Quarium e-mail is any indication, the site is reaching people's hearts and
is educating them to join in the aquarium's efforts to conserve the world's
oceans.
