Site Launch – Golden History Museums

by Jayme · May 7, 2012

The o2 Group just launched the newly designed Golden History Museums (GHM) website, www.goldenhistory.org! The GHM staff came to us with a new logo/branding set, hoping we could design a website that was as fresh and engaging as the new branding. Golden History Museums consists of 3 locations, Astor House Museum, Clear Creek History Park and Golden History Center. They wanted to show that each location is unique, yet also unified as a part of Golden’s history. Our designers went to work to create a site that would make people want to explore all of the history that the Golden Museums have to offer.

The result? A beautiful, photo-driven site that is easy to navigate and engaging. Some of the key pieces include:

Photo galleries throughout the site to display exhibits and images of specific locations
A Connect page to house all social pieces, including yelp reviews and a blog
Customizable, rotating hours of operation in the page header
Paypal integration to accept donations

So go explore the new website and be sure to check out the Golden History Museum sites next time you are in Golden!

o2 Group Launches the new City of Golden Website

by Jayme · Dec 2, 2011

After a year of organizing, gathering community and employee input, designing and coding, the o2 Group is excited to announce the launch of The City of Golden’s new website, www.cityofgolden.net!

The engaging design and bold colors bring the city’s site to modern times, while still preserving Golden’s ‘old west’ heritage. With targeted sections for Live, Work and Play, an ‘A to Z’ list of City Services and a custom Document Center loaded with useful information, you’ll always be able to find what you are looking for.

The goal of this project was to build an easy to navigate, media-rich website that would become a destination for residents, employees and visitors of Golden. Some new features include rotating photo slideshows and galleries that showcase Golden’s beauty, ‘business cards’ on each page for department heads so you always know who to contact, and an extensive ‘Play’ section designed to encourage visitors to explore all the city has to offer. Another feature to note is how the News section is organized. The user can easily identify whether the news item is related to an event (calendar icon), city news (city logo), recreation (kayak image), or very important (exclamation point). This, along with other new features on the site, is designed to help the user easily navigate through content and find exactly what he or she needs (while enjoying the experience!).

We encourage you all to check out The City of Golden’s new website. We’d love to hear what you think!
