Myriad Botanical Gardens, located in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City, is a vibrant urban park that offers a sanctuary of lush greenery, diverse plant collections, and various activities for visitors of all ages. The Gardens serve as a community hub, promoting environmental stewardship, horticultural education, and recreational opportunities. With its stunning landscapes, water features, and the iconic Crystal Bridge Conservatory, Myriad Botanical Gardens is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. It provides a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural experiences, making it a beloved destination for relaxation, learning, and community engagement.
The Myriad Botanical Gardens website was redesigned, transforming it into a user-friendly platform that reflects the vibrant essence of the Gardens. The goal was to create an engaging online presence that enhances visitor interaction and showcases the Gardens’ many attractions and services. The project was approached with a vision to infuse the site with lively colors and a clean, modern aesthetic.
The home page was crafted to be both visually striking and highly functional, featuring a dynamic layout that highlights the Gardens’ features. It prominently displays rental spaces, upcoming events, and dining options, providing visitors with quick access to essential information.
The event registration system is another of these features of the redesigned website. Visitors can easily browse the calendar of events, which is well-organized and regularly updated to include all activities held in the Gardens. Users can easily find comprehensive details for each event through the calendar.
Understanding the needs of visitors, a comprehensive “Visit Us” section was developed. This page provides detailed information about admission prices, operating hours for different areas of the Gardens, and important visitor guidelines. By offering clear and accessible information, this page ensures that guests are prepared for their visit.
Separate from general occasions, the website features a dedicated section for gardening events. This area includes workshops, classes, and special gardening programs designed to educate and inspire visitors. This was done to promote the Gardens’ commitment to bringing people and plants together.
The educational opportunities page highlights tours, classes, and other learning experiences available at the Gardens. This section is designed to promote the Gardens’ dedication to horticultural education and to encourage community participation.
A section for volunteering and donations was created, recognizing the importance of community support. This area provides information on how individuals can get involved with the Gardens through volunteer opportunities, as well as how they can support the Gardens financially. Clear calls to action and easy-to-navigate forms help to facilitate contributions and volunteer sign-ups.
Throughout the redesign process, user experience and accessibility were prioritized. The website is designed to be intuitive, with straightforward navigation and responsive design that ensures it functions well on all devices. Also implemented were the best practices for web accessibility, ensuring that the site is inclusive and usable by individuals with disabilities, adhering to the latest WCAG guidelines.
