Overview
We built a healthcare research journal's website from scratch, giving it a clear, credible home for its rules, guidelines, and identity, developed
end to end on WordPress.
The challenge
The journal needed a website that could represent it properly: a place where researchers, contributors, and readers could understand what the publication stands for, find its rules and guidelines, and learn who is behind it, all without an existing site to build on.
Result
A WordPress site built from the ground up, structured around the information a research journal needs to communicate clearly: submission guidelines, editorial rules, and the journal's own identity and brand presence.

Website
A website built from scratch for a healthcare research journal, developed on WordPress to give the publication a professional home for its guidelines, editorial policies, and brand.
Before → after
Before, the journal had no website or online presence to explain its guidelines, rules, or identity to researchers and readers. After, it had a complete WordPress site with a clear, structured home for its content and brand.
Information architecture
The site was structured for clarity around a direct path from the homepage to the journal's identity, contributor guidance, and contact information: Home → About / Brand → Guidelines & Rules → Contact.
Design system
The palette and typography were built around a clean, credible presentation suited to a healthcare and academic audience, keeping the focus on readability and trust.
