Summary

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) was established in 1919 to unite the global chemistry community by providing a universal language for chemistry and advocating for the free exchange of scientific information.

Today, IUPAC is the world authority on chemical terminology, including naming new elements in the periodic table, standardizing measurement methods, and providing conventions and standards for presenting data in a specific field.

TheeDigital developed an award-winning website for IUPAC that met the different digital challenges, such as managing the global network of community members and projects. The new website is visually appealing and its functionality matches its high quality design.

The Challenge

IUPAC came to TheeDigital knowing they needed a fresh, modern, and easy-to-navigate web design. Their old website was outdated and hard to navigate. Unless visitors and IUPAC members were familiar with the structure of the site, it was impossible to find specific information.

IUPAC used separate systems to manage the different aspects of the organization. Managing the numerous member profiles, events, and projects was complex, disjointed, and time consuming.

The Solution

TheeDigital designed and developed IUPAC’s new website with user experience in mind. Custom programming and innovative design elements were used to bring all the pieces together for a functional, comprehensive digital experience.

Our web design team mapped out the site flow to ensure visitors and members could navigate pages easily, find information, and learn about upcoming news and events. Given the complexity and multiple moving parts of the organization, this was a top priority for IUPAC.

Designing for User Experience

In order to design for user experience, you have to think like your user — which involves lots of drawings and mock-ups to visually see how people will interact with the website.
