Restyling del sito web per l'Organizzazione Internazionale di Geologi IUGS

Goals

For the IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences), we carried out a complete redesign of the website, with the goal of revitalizing the digital presence of this organization of geologists and making it easier and more modern to access its content, activities, and publications.

Founded in 1961, the IUGS is one of the largest international scientific organizations in the world. It brings together 74 active national members and promotes cooperation among countries, institutions, and scientific communities in the field of Earth Sciences, fostering the sharing of knowledge and its contribution to the well-being of society.

The project began with the reorganization of the information already available on the previous website. The main requirements were:

  • completely revamp the visual design of the institutional website
  • to promote the organization’s international and scientific identity
  • simplify the structure and make the extensive content more accessible
  • give greater prominence to publications, documents, and scientific archival materials
  • clearly present the national members, affiliated organizations, and international activities
  • ensure a smooth browsing experience on desktops, tablets, and smartphones

Website for an international scientific organization featuring content, publications, and institutional activities

Sito Web Responsive

The new visual design guides users through a vast and comprehensive collection of information, including projects, commissions, national members, affiliated organizations, events, international initiatives, documents, and scientific publications.
The redesign went beyond just the site’s graphic design. We also worked on the content structure, simplifying the navigation paths and highlighting the information already collected by the IUGS over the years.

In detail:

  • The structure of the pages and subpages has been reorganized to make it easier to find information
  • Content from the previous website—including scientific information, documents, publications, and archival materials—has been retrieved and enhanced through the new design
  • The event calendar has been redesigned with a customized section that allows users to view upcoming events in a full-fledged calendar and learn more about each event through a brief, dedicated description
  • An interactive map of member organizations has been created; it can be viewed and navigated, allowing users to see their distribution and geographic origin
  • The responsive interface ensures proper display and smooth navigation on desktops, tablets, and smartphones

The result is a more up-to-date, well-organized, and accessible institutional website that effectively showcases the international scope of IUGS and supports the dissemination of its activities within the global scientific community.

A better-organized content structure and the promotion of scientific and documentary heritage

The content from the previous website—including scientific information, documents, publications, and archival materials—has been retrieved and made more accessible through a new site architecture.

Interactive Map of International Members

We have updated and improved the graphics and usability of the interactive map that was already featured on the previous website. This section allows you to immediately view the geographic distribution of our members and identify the various countries represented within the organization.
