How We Did It
Dover Town Library was looking for a website that was engaging and inviting. They wanted it to act as a resourceful hub for library members. With that information and our knowledge from working with other libraries, we added an active hours display, an easy-to-navigate catalog, an updated events calendar, and more. We also redesigned their branding to feature bright blue, orange, and yellow colors to highlight the joy of the library.
Fully Responsive
Beautifully presented across all responsive devices
Dover Town Library’s website is responsive across all devices. Library members can visit this website on any device and experience the same easy functionality.
Background.
The Dover Town Library opened in 1894 to provide the town with access to information and preserve knowledge and ideas for centuries to come. Today, the Dover Town Library is where you will find a warm and welcoming environment providing traditional services that support the reading and informational needs of all of their patrons in a variety of formats, including print and multimedia. With their new library website design, they can now maximize access to information for the entire community.
Tips for Creating an Engaging Library Website.
Before
The old website was hard to navigate and did not feature the wide range of offerings that Dover Town Library has.
After
We designed a new logo and used that branding for the entire website. The website also features an expanded mega menu to make services and resources easy to find.
Dynamic Search Form
Including Filters.
Websites should be easy to navigate, especially library websites that serve as important resources for the community. When you enter the Dover Town Library, you’re immediately greeted with the search function that allows you to search both the website’s content and the library’s catalog. This is a library website design tip we recommend for all library websites because users won’t have to go far to find the information or book they’re looking for.
