Custer Observatory: A Digital Transformation for Long Island’s Oldest Observatory

Custer Observatory, Long Island’s oldest observatory, is a hub for astronomy enthusiasts featuring state-of-the-art telescopes, antique collections, and a rich history of exploration. However, its website was outdated and lacked the functionality needed to engage visitors, manage events, and highlight its mission.

Challenges:

  • The website was outdated and difficult to navigate, making it hard for visitors to find event details, membership options, and historical information.

  • Event ticketing for live music under the stars and astronomy nights was not user-friendly, leading to missed opportunities for attendance.

  • Many visitors were unaware that public stargazing sessions were only available on Saturday nights, leading to confusion.

  • The Observatory needed a way to attract new members and volunteers to support its mission.


Solutions:

  • Website Redesign & Development – Created a modern, user-friendly website that clearly presents the observatory’s history, technology, and events while improving accessibility.

  • Streamlined Event Ticketing – Integrated a seamless online ticketing system, making it easier for visitors to purchase tickets for live music events, lectures, and stargazing nights.

  • Clear Communication of Visiting Hours – Designed a bold, attention-grabbing section to emphasize that public viewing nights are held only on Saturdays, reducing visitor confusion.

  • Membership & Volunteer Portal – Developed an informational and sign-up portal to encourage new memberships, donations, and volunteer participation.

  • SEO & Digital Strategy – Optimized the site with local and astronomy-related keywords, increasing online visibility and engagement.

Results:

Custer Observatory has the tools to attract more visitors, boost event participation, and grow its membership base. As more users engage with the site, the impact of these changes will continue to be measured.
