The Canadian Society of Microbiologists (La Société canadienne des microbiologistes) is a non-profit that supports hundreds of members across Canada, from undergraduate students to senior researchers. Its annual conference brings the community together each June.

The society needed a professional, fully bilingual website that made membership valuable year-round, with tools for members and clear information for conference attendees.

Canadian Society of Microbiologists: bilingual society website by CryoDragon

How we approached it Case Study: Two Languages, One [ice]Community[/ice]

We built the site so English and French visitors get the same experience, and members get real reasons to log in:

Fully Bilingual

Every page is available in English and French, with an easy language switch.

Member Portal

Members can manage their accounts, access discounts and connect with each other.

Member Directory & Jobs

A searchable directory and job listings help microbiologists find collaborators and careers.

Conference Hub

Annual conference pages cover dates, venues, registration and awards lectures.

Membership That Pays Off

Societies thrive when members see value beyond a yearly fee. We designed the site around member benefits: directory listings, job postings, awards and discounted conference registration.

Student sections and awards pages help the next generation of microbiologists get involved early.
