Project

A huge audience, of all ages and from across the world can be updated on the lives of the Royals as they change and grow. The rise of social media has meant the households are sharing more candid and intimate content with the public.

The project was to design a website that brought content from social media, archives, events and other sources together, acting as one source of truth for all the Royals’ content to create genuine and relatable connections with the public.

Key features

One of the design challenges of the website was coming up with a way of navigating to specific or curated content without breaking the user's browsing and activity. Through discussions and collaboration, the solution was to create a search bar that acted as a title for either custom searches or curated searches, as well as a subtle menu for users who were less tech-savvy.
