Mass Observation archive

Redesigning the website of a national archive

By Jack Latimer

Communitysites has redesigned the website of the Mass Observation archive. This popular archive has been recording everyday life in Britain for the last 70 years. The brief was to create a site that was attractive, contemporary, and was straightforward to navigate. CommunitySites created a new 'look and feel', established the structure of the site through user-testing, and built the site with Dreamweaver to fit in with the archive's existing technology. The client is delighted with the result.
