Websites for museums and cultural heritage digitization services

Websites, platforms and digital services for museums and cultural foundations: accessibility, performance and heritage enhancement

We design websites for museums and cultural foundations that help institutions tell the story of their heritage, connect with diverse audiences and manage complex content sustainably.

From online museum websites to digital catalogs, from virtual exhibitions to archive digitization, we build cultural websites that are accessible, high-performing and designed to evolve over time alongside the institution.

Enhancing heritage and the visitor experience, online and on site

Today, a museum communicates with and welcomes visitors on several levels: before the visit, during the on-site experience and afterward. That's why we design digital ecosystems that accompany audiences throughout their journey, online and in person.

We start from a clear information architecture and UX/UI design built for diverse audiences (casual visitors, scholars, schools, internal staff) and create simple, consistent, fast interfaces. Every project meets WCAG accessibility requirements and AgID guidelines, with particular attention to performance and the quality of the experience on every device.

Heritage digitization and access

We support museums and foundations in digitizing cultural assets and archives, turning complex materials into searchable, well-organized, interoperable systems.

We digitize historical archives, historical documents, photographic collections and negatives, designing online catalogs that bring content to life through structured metadata, advanced filters and relationships between works, artists, periods and collections

Digital experiences: virtual exhibitions and visits

Online virtual exhibitions and virtual museum visits aren't mere reproductions of physical spaces: they're new forms of storytelling. We design virtual museum tours and digital journeys that put the curatorial narrative and the user experience at the center.

Inclusive maps and wayfinding

Finding your way around a cultural venue is an integral part of the visit. That's why we design inclusive digital maps and wayfinding systems built directly into the website.

Interactive 2D maps help visitors plan their visit, move through the spaces and find points of interest and accessible routes. These aren't standalone services but tools designed as part of the museum's digital ecosystem, consistent with the institution's identity and content.

Augmented reality and routes across the territory

We develop AR solutions for recognizing artworks in the galleries, for geolocated content and for routes designed for widespread museums, archaeological parks and cultural landscapes. The goal is to enrich the visit with extra layers of interpretation without overloading the experience, always keeping it accessible and easy to use.

Testimonials

  • Working together on the design and development of the website, we greatly appreciated the innovative, user-friendly approach that took the museum's website to a level of quality beyond all expectations.

Experience and projects

Over the years we've worked with museums and cultural foundations on complex digital projects, collaborating closely with directors, curators and internal teams. Our experience includes the Gallerie degli Uffizi, the Museo Ginori and the Grande Museo del Duomo. Every project starts from clear goals, tackles real constraints and delivers measurable results in content access, usability and digital governance.

We know the cultural sector and its specific needs: complex content, regulatory constraints, and the need for long-term accessibility and sustainability.

We work with interdisciplinary teams and support institutions through every phase of the project, from strategy to post-launch support. We bring experience, method and attention to compliance, including support for calls for proposals, funding and PNRR projects.

At Cantiere Creativo, we combine technical skills, creativity and regulatory know-how to support public bodies through every phase of their digital and communication projects.
