Aquarium website design & development

An aquarium’s website should be an extension of the immersive, educational in-person experience it offers to visitors.

At Wondrous Creations, we specialise in creating visually stunning dynamic user-friendly websites that can capture the wonder and beauty of your underwater worlds. Our services are perfectly positioned for the unique needs of aquariums.

Here’s why investing in a high-quality website with us is essential and why we are the perfect choice for designing your aquarium’s online presence.

Engaging visitor experience

An aquarium's website should be as captivating and engaging as the exhibits it represents. We design websites that can encapsulate the wonder of the in-person experience with impactful, animated, and effective web designs that draw visitors in from the moment they arrive.

Using high-quality images, videos, beautiful seamless transitions and interactive elements, we can bring the magic of your marine life exhibits to the digital world.

With a delightful intuitive navigation, we can ensure that users can easily find information about visiting hours, ticket prices, exhibits, and special events, enhancing their overall experience and building anticipation for their visit.

Showcasing marine exhibits

One of the primary functions of an aquarium website is to showcase its marine exhibits. Our team excels in designing pages that can highlight each exhibit with detailed descriptions, high-resolution images, and immersive videos.

Interactive maps and virtual tours can provide visitors with a preview of what to expect, helping them plan their visit and ensuring they don’t miss out on any of the amazing marine life. By creating a digital representation of the aquarium’s wonders, we can help you drive ticket sales and boost visitor engagement.

Simple, efficient, future-proof, and maintainable content management

We hook the websites we build up with a CMS as standard, so your content can be easily edited and managed, making content edits for text, images, and pages a breeze from an editor-friendly UI. To allow your aquarium's staff to focus on what they do best, we also offer a number of monthly retainers, with which we can manage the content for you.

Expecting a lot of content? We've got you covered as content-heavy websites are one of our specialities!

We separate the data/content layer from the front-end code, meaning it's easier to redesign the website if required in the future and easier to maintain the website content — particularly important for content-heavy websites.

There's no traditional database to get tangled up with, and there's no need to worry about updating themes and plugins or worrying about them remaining maintained, compatible, and functional (like with some popular CMSs like WordPress, which often inevitably turn into a tangled mess).

Promoting conservation and education

Aquariums play a crucial role in conservation and education. We understand the importance of these missions and can integrate them seamlessly into your website.

We can create dedicated sections for conservation efforts, educational programs, and research initiatives. By leveraging multimedia content such as documentaries, interviews, and interactive educational modules, we can help you convey the importance of your work and engage your audience in meaningful ways.

Seamless ticketing and membership integration

A seamless ticketing system is essential for any aquarium website. We can integrate robust ticketing solutions that are easy to navigate, secure, and reliable.

We can also integrate features like membership sign-ups, family passes, and mobile ticketing to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience for your visitors, reservations for special events, behind-the-scenes tours, and VIP experiences, making it easy for guests to plan their perfect visit to the aquarium.

Enhanced marketing and outreach
