The Project MUSE website, managed by Johns Hopkins University Press, offers online, full text, prestigious humanities and social sciences journals from many of the world's leading university presses and scholarly societies.

To begin the redesign of Project MUSE, I conducted extensive research. Internal and external stakeholder groups were identified and an online survey posted so that MUSE’s national and international end users could have the opportunity to participate. An analysis of the current site and comparative research of peer sites were conducted, along with librarian and publisher interviews. A staff brainstorming session was also held to determine known issues, identify “wish list” items, and discuss how best to structure and categorize information on the new site.

The research led to the development of an information architecture, content chart, and ultimately a new visual design for Project MUSE. I developed the approved visual design into sixteen, XHTML 1.0 Strict, validated, and accessible templates for Project MUSE's excellent programming team, who converted the old site into the new one.
