Website Portfolio
Professional, affordable web design for libraries throughout the United States and Chicago, IL. Libraries are pillars of their communities, providing access to a wealth of knowledge and resources. A library’s website is just as important as its physical location. We understand the unique needs of libraries when it comes to their websites. We create ADA-compliant, user-friendly websites that are easily updatable in-house, ensuring your library can effectively serve your community online.
Highlight Your Library's Services
Every library offers a unique array of services and resources. Whether it’s a comprehensive catalog of books, a community events calendar, or online access to research databases, your website should make it easy for patrons to discover and utilize these services. At CyberOptik, we create intuitive, easy-to-navigate websites that highlight your library’s offerings and make them easily accessible to your patrons.
User-Friendly Design
A library’s website should be as welcoming and easy to navigate as the library itself. We prioritize user-friendly design, ensuring patrons of all ages and tech-savviness can easily find what they want. From the online catalog to the event calendar, every aspect of your website will be designed with the user in mind.
ADA Compliant
We understand the importance of creating websites that are accessible to all users. We ensure that our library websites are ADA compliant, meeting the standards set out in the Americans with Disabilities Act. This means that your website will be accessible to users with various disabilities, ensuring everyone in your community can access the necessary resources.
Case Study: Elmhurst Public Library
Public Library in Western Suburbs of Chicago
The Elmhurst Public Library wanted to increase website traffic and encourage Elmhurst residents to use the online services. The challenge was to make the library’s countless resources as accessible as possible to the entire Elmhurst, Illinois community. We rebuilt their website from the ground up with mobile usage in mind, ensuring every Elmhurst resident could access the library’s countless resources at a moment’s notice. The result was a mobile-friendly website with better navigation systems and menus, making it possible to find information much faster than before. Read More
Custom Mobile Website Conversion
The Elmhurst Library came to us with an existing website that was nice looking but was hard to use and was not ready for mobile visitors. We rebuilt their website from the ground up including redesigning the front-end navigations, adding back-end management tools, and recreating the site to work on all screen sizes.
A More Intuitive Navigation
We helped the EPL organize and refine their content in a way that makes for an intuitive experience where library guests can easily find what they need.
Custom Mobile Shortcuts
When viewing the site on a mobile device, patrons are shown nine of the most popular or most important links so they can access what they need with a single click. Other pages and features are bundled into a slide-out menu.
