Designing digital experiences for families
Frankly, Green + Webb @marthasadie
1. Challenge some possible preconceptions
2. Share findings from our own research
3. Share our principles for designing digital for families
Frankly, Green + Webb @marthasadie
An obvious audience for digital?

Principles for designing for families
Frankly, Green + Webb @marthasadie
“Any issues around the cloakroom or queuing all
eats into the time that kids will pay attention
for. About an hour and then you’re dead. Our
time is ticking.”
Frankly, Green + Webb @marthasadie
Logistics and family dynamics >> content

“If we took the kids tour it just wouldn’t fit
with our schedule. The adult one was more
flexible.”

“I was skimming the description and then telling
them about it, that’s the general experience of
a museum, but by the time I’d finished reading
it they’d moved on.”

Parent: “If there had been more things that
showed you how it would have looked in place at
the time. It needed putting in context.”
Child: “Mummy, I wanted to know how they know
what’s what?”

Context is 👑
Frankly, Green + Webb @marthasadie
Needs
Families need context, flexibility,
simplicity, clear value
Frankly, Green + Webb @marthasadie
Opportunities
Families need context, flexibility,
simplicity, clear value
Frankly, Green + Webb @marthasadie
Digital opportunities
•Unanswered questions•A need for more suitable information and context
•A desire to be entertained•Attracted to interactivity
Frankly, Green + Webb @marthasadie
“We do lots of creative work but it’s usually
with sticking and gluing. This is quite
exciting, you get instant results. It doesn’t
take a whole hour to do something” “I enjoyed making a
poster on the iPads because I got to choose
where to put it and what to do”
“You’re sitting there playing the game and then
you could see the people in the picture playing
the same game. That was fun.”
“They’ve learnt to do something
together, that’s the learning”
Frankly, Green + Webb @marthasadie
The final challenge:
How do you get families to choose your
experience?
Frankly, Green + Webb @marthasadie
Sell the sizzle, not the
sausage
