After a years worth of user behaviour data had been collected; it became apparent that the information architecture of the site would benefit from a redesign to better serve the user's experience and "path the cowpaths". New pages were created such as 'Museum List' and 'Museum Map' which reflected the users search queries from Google. These new pages went on to become some of the most popular on the site.However, other features such as the 'Search' input field had been disabled; surprisingly due to low usage and more of a security risk and actual use.
