چکیده
Nowadays, exhibition experience is no longer defined by physical visits. Increasing a person’s knowledge about a subject tends to increase their interest in it, thus improve attendance and support for the exhibition. This research analyses and conduct comparison studies regarding website elements featured in 30 science museums around the world. Consequently, this produces an overview of one effective model for Website design; a user-centered process that includes techniques for need assessment, methodology, goal/task analysis, user interface design, and finally pre/post prototyping.
