WordPress Web Design and Development for the San Francisco Bay Area and Beyond

Recent Projects for Scientific Research

HyperArts has built and supported websites for national laboratory programs, university research groups, and multi-institution collaborations for more than a decade, including AmeriFlux, E3SM, NGEE-Tropics, GEDI, the Watershed Function SFA, and the National Alliance for Water Innovation.

Publications databases

Searchable, filterable publications with DOIs, linked to people and projects, and imported in bulk instead of typed in by hand. Moving from Drupal? See what to expect in a migration.

Data portals and tools

Clear paths to datasets, models, and software, including interactive data tools and integrations with external repositories and APIs. See web applications you can build with WordPress.

People and partner directories

Profiles, institutions, and field sites that stay connected to publications and projects, plus maps for multi-site networks.

Science communication

Research highlights, news, and plain-language summaries that help funders and the public understand why the work matters. Schema markup also helps search engines and AI tools find and cite your research.

We asked HyperArts to redesign the look and restructure the CMS of our institutional website after another agency backed out due to the complexity of the task. The HyperArts team was knowledgeable, talented, flexible, and a pleasure to work with. They listened to our needs, helped us navigate a design solution, then worked with us closely through development and launch. The result is a modern, beautiful and elegantly functional website that gives us a healthy foundation for future growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most research sites need a searchable publications list, a people directory, access to data and software, plain-language research highlights, events, and partner or site pages for multi-institution projects. See our guide to research lab website design.

Yes. We build publications as structured content that can be filtered by year, author, topic, and type, linked to people and projects, and imported in bulk, as on the Watershed Function SFA site.

Yes. With hardened hosting, regular updates, role-based permissions, and single sign-on where needed, WordPress meets typical institutional security reviews. Many of our research sites run at or for national laboratories.

Yes. We have built interactive data tools and integrations with external data sources, APIs, and repositories, such as the data portal on the AmeriFlux site.

We plan an archive strategy up front, such as keeping the site on minimal hosting, converting it to a static archive, or moving publications and data to an institutional repository.
