Progress against our quarterly objectives

Digital Experience

Born-digital collection is available to the public

• Collections and digital stakeholders met to review user needs in relation to our MVP born-digital solution and agreed next steps

Improve experience for users with access needs pre and during visit

• Designed a new UX flow to address pain points in the user experience/journey of our digital exhibition guides. These guides allow exhibition visitors to access a highlight tour (audio or BSL videos with transcripts), plus all the exhibition text, on their own devices.

Wellcomecollection.org handles user data in a compliant and transparent way

• From Tuesday (4th June) all website visitors are being presented with our new cookie consent banner. This gives our users more transparency and the option to manage their cookie preferences. This means that from this point on we will be capturing a smaller proportion of user activity data eg. through Google Analytics.

• The team investigated naming of design tokens and progressed work towards an MVP design system which could be used by product teams across both Trust and Collection.
