Websites and digital platforms for research projects, and the people they serve.
We work at the point where research meets everybody else – moving knowledge out of institutions and into the hands of practitioners, policymakers, and communities who can act on it.
Working with teams at
What we do
Everything a research project needs online.
Websites
Design, build, and long-term management for project, network, and consortium sites – hosted, secured, and maintained by us.
Learning platforms & resource libraries
Evidence, toolkits, and training organised the way people actually look for them – not the way they were filed.
Data systems & visualisation
Databases, maps, and dashboards that make long-running research data public, navigable, and useful.
Brand & design
Identities, report layouts, figures, and infographics for projects that need to look as credible as their science.
Every project includes
Secure, and looked after
Hosting, security updates, backups, and uptime monitoring handled by us, for as long as the site is live.
Easy for your team to update
Page templates, content guidance, training, and a written handover, so non-technical staff can add and change content with confidence.
Works on every screen
Designed for phones first and tested on tablets and desktops, because that is how your audience will arrive.
Fast and low carbon
Light pages that load quickly on slow connections and use less energy.
Accessible
Built to WCAG 2.2 AA, tested, and with an accessibility statement your institution can use.
Yours to keep
You own your content and your domain. At the end of a project you get a full export, and an archive option if the funding stops.
Selected work
Over fifteen years of building for organisations that are not primarily digital.
Fauna & Flora
Five years of impact data, finally in one place
Annual impact reporting that lived in a separate spreadsheet for every year, rebuilt into one relational database linking five years of project, site, species, and partner data.
MASTS
A decade alongside Scotland's marine science alliance
The Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland: a seventeen-institution research consortium whose website has grown with it since 2015 – through a brand refresh we designed, event ticketing, and a 10,000-strong newsletter.
SOTEAG
Fifty years of environmental monitoring, made public
A rebuild of a site the team couldn't edit into a public-facing resource library for five decades of independent environmental monitoring at Sullom Voe.
Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme
The public face of Scotland's marine animal stranding scheme
The website for the research and reporting scheme for stranded whales, dolphins, seals, turtles, and large sharks in Scotland, including a custom plugin that shows its stranding map straight from the scheme's database.
Planet Indonesia
A learning centre for community-led conservation evidence
A dedicated learning centre for an Indonesian conservation organisation: its theory of change, long-form interactive stories, and a filterable library of research, reports, and working papers.
Why us
We understand the content
Our background is in academic research, conservation, and global health communication, not generic web work. We can read your outputs and tell you how they should be organised.
We build things that last
Research websites usually outlive the grant that paid for them. We plan for that from day one, including what happens when the funding stops.
We are straight about cost
A fixed budget buys a fixed amount. We say plainly what it covers and what it does not, and there are no add-ons or upsells down the line.
We use modern tooling – including AI – to handle the routine parts of a build quickly, so more of your budget goes on the thinking: who your audience is, what they need to find, and how your research reaches them. Here is how we use AI, and where we do not.
