The challenge

The challenge was to maintain and improve digital experiences for a specialist publishing business serving multiple technical industries, while ensuring the websites remained accessible, standards-compliant, and effective in communicating complex content clearly.

This involved balancing editorial, technical, and marketing needs across websites and campaigns, while working with platforms such as Drupal and WordPress and technologies including HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript. The work also needed to support consistency across digital touchpoints and ensure that communications felt clear, credible, and aligned with the brand.

My role

I worked primarily as a web designer, with additional graphic design responsibilities focused on email marketing, expert blogs, and thought leadership content. My role included creating and updating websites, supporting campaign delivery, and ensuring digital outputs were both visually clear and technically sound.

I developed accessible, standards-compliant websites aligned with W3C guidelines, using HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, WordPress, and Drupal. Alongside website work, I designed and built email campaigns that supported marketing and editorial objectives while maintaining a strong visual standard across communications.

Process and approach

My approach focused on combining design clarity with technical practicality. For web projects, this meant creating and updating pages that were accessible, standards-compliant, and structured to support readability, usability, and clear navigation across specialist content.

Working with Drupal, WordPress, HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript, I supported the ongoing evolution of the company’s websites while ensuring that layouts, content presentation, and interactions remained functional and user-friendly. At the same time, I created email campaigns and supporting graphic assets that extended the brand across marketing communications and editorial content.

Because Europa Science operated in technical and content-rich sectors, the work required attention to detail, consistency, and an ability to make specialist information feel more approachable and visually digestible for readers and industry audiences.
