Coral Gables Museum
History of the Coral Gables Museum
Originally constructed in 1939 as Coral Gables’ first police and fire station, the Coral Gables Museum stands as a striking example of Depression-era WPA architecture, embodying the vision of city founder George E. Merrick. After a comprehensive renovation and expansion in 2011, the historic building was repurposed into a vibrant museum dedicated to celebrating the art, architecture, and history of South Florida. Today, the Coral Gables Museum serves as a cultural hub, offering engaging exhibitions and programs that honor its storied past while enriching the community’s understanding of the region’s heritage.
We’ve developed a visually captivating website with a strong emphasis on user experience, aimed at helping the Coral Gables Museum engage with and strengthen its community connections.
The Journey
Our approach to designing and developing the Coral Gables Museum website was centered on creating a seamless and engaging user experience while showcasing the museum’s rich heritage and vibrant offerings. We began by prioritizing a visually striking design that reflects the museum’s historical elegance and cultural significance. Our web design team employed a user-centric approach, ensuring intuitive navigation and responsive functionality across all devices. By integrating interactive features and optimizing content for both desktop and mobile platforms, we aimed to enhance accessibility and foster a deeper connection with visitors. This thoughtful design and development process ensures that the website not only celebrates the museum’s past but also serves as a dynamic tool for engaging with its community and promoting its diverse programs and exhibitions.
