Futuna Chapel digital guide
I proposed a digital visitor guide for Futuna Chapel and took it from a working prototype to a complete guide in about eight weeks. Working pro bono, I carried the project through research, writing, design, development and release for the Futuna Chapel Trust.

From proposal to visitor experience
I brought the Trust a working five-stop prototype, then developed it into a seven-stop guide. I researched the chapel’s history, architecture and art, wrote and edited the interpretation, and adapted existing visitor material with feedback from the Trust.
The guide encourages visitors to look at the building itself. Each stop starts with where to stand and what to notice, followed by a short explanation and optional deeper reading. Visitors can choose the stops in any order and move at their own pace.
Design, build and launch
I designed the interface, built the web application, integrated the recorded welcome, transcript and acoustics excerpt, and tested the experience on phones and desktop browsers. I also managed the hosting and release, designed the visitor card and QR signs, and supplied the QR code for the lecture series and livestream.
The first prototype was made on 19 July 2026. A public beta followed in August and the main release on 13 September. The finished guide opens in a browser, with no app to install, and connects the on-site experience with the visitor print material.
