Maker-inspired website
Community-centric shared knowledge
The website's design embodies simplicity and harmony, with vibrant colors and clean typography that draw attention to key information. Bold imagery and large fonts serve to highlight important content, while intuitive navigation, facilitated by a well-organized menu structure, guides visitors through the site. Each section offers detailed insights into the lab's activities, captivating visitors and inspiring further exploration.
By the nature of the organization a key element was to embrace tools shared by the maker community. Thus, we opted for a static site generator hosted on a version control platform, complemented by an open-source CMS which ensured a good experience for content creators.
