A Brand New Chapter

Oxford’s most imaginative destination, The Story Museum, is a vibrant celebration of the written and spoken word. With an expanded venue and a growing programme of immersive exhibitions, performances, and events, the museum needed a digital platform that could match its creative ambition. 

Eyekiller was commissioned to design and build a bold new website that would drive footfall, increase engagement, and support ticketing, donations, and marketing efforts through seamless integration with Spektrix—the industry-leading box office and fundraising platform for the arts.

Project Highlights

  • Delivered a fully responsive, user-friendly website built on Craft CMS for flexible content management
  • Integrated Spektrix for admissions, events, and donations
  • Developed a custom booking journey via Spektrix API
  • User testing gathered real user feedback to eliminate friction points, optimise usability, and refine user experiences before launch
  • Brought the brand to life through creative UX and UI

Guided by Insight

The new website blends charm, creativity and clarity, immersing users in the world of stories while making it effortless to find information, explore exhibits or book tickets. Stakeholder workshops informed the site’s UX, ensuring parents, teachers and children could navigate with ease. The result is a digital experience as playful and imaginative as the museum itself.

Built on Craft CMS, the site features a bespoke Spektrix API integration that allows visitors to choose their own adventure by selecting dates, times, add-ons and gift vouchers in one seamless flow. This smart setup supports admissions, donations and marketing goals, while giving the museum full control over content and storytelling online.
