In November, we launched a new site working with a team of scientists at The University of Utah and it’s slick as anything. You can check it out here: https://cryoem101.org. New chapters will rollout in the coming months, but the first is live now.
The “why” behind the site is summarized as:
Cryo EM has emerged as a powerful tool for high-resolution structure determination. To aid the training efforts of newcomers to the field, we are creating a media-rich curriculum to augment users’ own hands-on training. The training material will contain videos, animations, and interactive simulations that cover the major components of the cryo-EM workflow.
This subject is pretty intense for a crew of web pros with a solid “C” average in science. Well, we weren’t needed for our scientific expertise, but instead for our ability to mix WordPress design/development with custom JavaScript functionality to take their work and make it beautiful in any browser.
Work included:
- Site design
- Site development in WordPress
- Some copywriting
- Content Production
- Interactive module development (example here)
- Ongoing maintenance & future content development and production
Here’s a shot of the “About” page and the folks behind all of the powerful content/assets on the site:
For us, a great project. Everything was smooth and came together fast. Using Slack for communication across the team was a treat.
Also, this is a new blog for us and I’m happy to kick it off bragging about this project. Hello world!
