Oregon Coast Aquarium launches new website with streamlined design
Website offers easier access to information and ties directly to aquarium’s social networking sites
NEWPORT, Ore. - The Oregon Coast
Aquarium has launched a new website,
offering a more user-friendly experience,
at www.aquarium.org.
The website, built and designed by
Terra Firma Design & Consulting in New
port, allows visitors to access information
quickly and easily with a new streamlined
design that is easy to navigate.
“We are very excited about the aquar
ium’s new website,” said Nairne Dickey,
Terra Firma Design and Consulting
creative director. “We think the clean design,
ease of navigation and updated content
really serve the aquarium’s mission well and
will continue to help connect the aquarium’s
fans with the dedicated aquarium staff.
We’re so happy we could work with every
one at the aquarium on this project.”
Website visitors can find out about
the aquarium’s services, programs, events,
educational efforts and animals. New
features include drop-down menus offer
ing details about exhibits, animal species
and habitats.
Users also will have the opportunity
to watch videos, purchase tickets, make
tax-deductible contributions, adopt
animals, sign up for e-mail newsletters
or plan educational experiences offered
by the aquarium.
Users also can connect to the aquar
ium’s social networking sites from the
new website, including Facebook, Twit
ter, YouTube and Flickr. Features include
animal updates, conservation tips, educa
tional information, giving opportunities,
photos, videos and contests.
Marsh Myers, aquarium education
manager, said the challenge was to take
a lot of information, break it down to the
core information that people look for and
make it easy to access.
“A well-designed website communi
cates the heart of the aquarium in a visually
compelling way, but also allows visitors to
get the information they need quickly,” said
Myers. “Over 80 percent of Americans use
some kind of social networking or digital
media and our goal is to bring them the
experience of the aquarium even if they’re
not here in person to enjoy it. That’s the
true beauty and value of the Internet.”
The Oregon Coast Aquarium is a
private, non-profit aquatic and marine sci
ence educational facility offering a fun and
interesting way to learn about Oregon’s
unique coastal ecosystem. It is dedicated
