Web design for societies Serve Your [ice]Profession[/ice]
Professional societies juggle a lot online: memberships, annual meetings, awards, student programs, sponsors and news, often managed by volunteer executives who change every year.
We’ve worked with scientific societies for years, building main society websites, annual meeting sites and conference materials. We set things up so each new executive can pick up where the last one left off, with clear templates and documentation.

Professional societiesWebsites for Professional and [ice]Scientific Societies[/ice]
Professional and scientific societies serve members, organize meetings, recognize achievements and promote their field. Their websites need to support all of that: membership, annual meetings, awards, news, resources and governance documents, often in two languages.
We’ve built websites and member systems for societies such as the Biophysical Society of Canada and the Canadian Society of Microbiologists, and award platforms for programs like the Consumer Choice Award.
Built for volunteersEasy to Manage as [ice]Boards Change[/ice]
Society boards and committees change regularly. We design websites with clear roles, simple editing and documentation so each new team can keep the site current.
We also offer hosting and maintenance so the technical side is handled consistently from year to year.
