Empowering Scotland's Marine Science Community MASTS (Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland) needed a complete overhaul of their digital presence to address severe performance and usability issues. Their existing Umbraco site, developed by a previous agency, suffered from outdated technology and lack of support. Our mission was to rebuild the platform from scratch, delivering a powerful, scalable solution that met the needs of marine academics, researchers, and organisations across Scotland.
Key Features
-
Modern Umbraco CMS
Upgraded from a very old version 4 of Umbraco, providing a robust and scalable platform with modern features. -
Resource map development
Designed and built an extensive resource map, allowing users to visualise marine sites across Scotland. This feature required custom development to handle large datasets efficiently and provide a user-friendly interface. -
Member registration system
Implemented a secure registration system integrated with the CMS to manage members and allow access to restricted areas. -
Responsive design
Delivered a fully responsive website optimised for seamless use across devices, ensuring accessibility for all users. -
Performance optimisation
Addressed existing performance bottlenecks, ensuring faster loading times and improved site stability. -
Content migration and restructuring
Migrated all content while restructuring menus and navigation for a better user experience.
Challenges
- Tight budget and timeline: Delivering a high-quality solution under budget and within a limited timeframe.
- Complex requirements: Developing an advanced resource map with detailed filtering and visualisation tools.
Simon and his team delivered an exceptional website for MASTS, solving our performance issues and creating a user-friendly platform for our marine science community. The resource map has become an invaluable tool for researchers across Scotland.
