The site we built

The site as it is now, live and looked after by Solo. There was no earlier website, so there is no before.
Ecology Ready is a new programme, so the website had to explain it from scratch. One page had to work for three different audiences: students and graduates, universities, and the ecological consultancies that employ early-career ecologists.
There was no existing site to build on, so the structure, the copy and the imagery all started from a blank page.
A single-page site with anchor navigation
Separate sections for students, universities and employers
A nine-module programme breakdown in accordions
Team profiles with focus areas and LinkedIn links
A registration form with audience and interest fields
Consent wording written into the form
Full-width photography and a dark section rhythm
Mobile-first layout throughout
Ecology Ready now has one page that answers what each of its three audiences arrives asking.
Enquiries come through a single form that records whether the sender is a student, a university or a consultancy, so each one can be answered in the right way.
