Motu Research Website

Motu is a New Zealand research company that was striving to break the barrier between academia and the intellectually engaged everyday New Zealander.

The UX task was to help the research to be discoverable as well as directly accessed


Information Architecture

The Site Map took a traditional approach as I created connection at the lower page levels that bridged across the each of the areas


UX and Wireframes

The primary method of discoverability for researchers in academia and interested individuals was by search engines. For this reason we enabled a full suite of discoverable directions. Each piece of metadata linked the content to other pieces of content to enable exploration.


The homepage acted as a teaching opportunity to help interested individuals to learn about what Motu has to offer
