Researchers and students browse the websites of potential advisors to help them decide whether the laboratory environment is appropriate, and scientists sometimes consult the sites of other researchers to keep up with the work of a laboratory or to decide whether they want to collaborate. The thoughtful design also makes it easier to read and process the information. “It’s very important to have an attractive website today because it’s your professional online presence,” says Liz Neeley, who is based in Seattle, Washington, and is assistant director of science outreach at the science communication organization COMPASS. “It’s the face you’re showing to the world at large.
While social media sites have gained importance as communication tools, a website remains a convenient and centralized source of information about projects, publications, research and teaching products, as well as an opportunity to showcase what makes the lab unique. By carefully organizing their content, taking into account their target audience, and following some simple design guidelines, scientists can develop a site that presents their achievements and scientific approach. With so many tools available, it is now easy to have an excellent website for your company.
Tips for scientific organizations to make the sciencific website easy and usable
1. Keep your website designs consistent
[/vcThat the presentation of the content of your scientific website is in harmony, respecting that each section has the same pattern.
Make sure that each template used is consistent and follows your brand guidelines.
2. Allow easy navigation
If visitors get your website complicated to navigate, it generates a bounce and the visitor never returns.
Look to make your navigation options as simple as possible and avoid cramming long lists of pages into menus. Classify the content of your science website and offer it in sections of the website in different ways to help ensure a positive user experience.
3. Make sure your website is sensitive
An essential recommendation, that although it sounds obvious there are still scientific websites that do not respond to cell phones. These poorly designed websites do not provide an optimal user experience. Your science website should work effectively on both mobile and tablet devices.
Added value to your scientific site through innovative tools:
Looped Video Illustration
You may ask yourself what is a looped video illustration, the loop is the heart of your theme, technology, or essential element of your business, is one of the latest trends that has been implemented in the web pages and is having a greater growth in its penetration every day.
