Stops, in order
- 1
Home
Headline, welcome from the head of department, three audience cards, theme and group cards, and the people strip. Scroll down: the header stays pinned.
- 2
A research theme
Open a theme from the menu. It pulls in the groups, studies and news tagged to it. Card text is written once and reused everywhere.
/themes/recovery-and-rehabilitation/ Option one Option two Option three
- 3
A research group
Jump links under the banner. People with photo, role, short bio, email and ORCID. Then the group's studies and selected papers with plain-language summaries.
/groups/perioperative-outcomes-group/ Option one Option two Option three
- 4
Publications
The full list builds itself. Each night it pulls papers from researchers' public ORCID records, and the page shows the date it last updated. Editors can still correct an entry.
/publications/ Option one Option two Option three
- 5
For participants
General information, then studies in three sections with counts: recruiting now, under way and completed. Every study uses one template, so more studies do not add cost.
/participants/ Option one Option two Option three
- 6
One study
Status and ethics approval number at the top, the take-part panel, plain-language summary, who can take part, updates, real PDF documents and the last reviewed date.
/studies/after-intensive-care/ Option one Option two Option three
- 7
A study with findings
A completed study, showing how results are shared back with participants.
/studies/moving-after-hip-fracture/ Option one Option two Option three
- 8
A lab-only study
On this group page a lab study has a card but no participant page. The editor just unticks "Involves participants".
/groups/inflammation-and-healing-lab/ Option one Option two Option three
- 9
For students
Routes into research, relevant degrees, supervisor cards drawn from the same people records, and a how-to-apply button. Do not click it yet: it is a placeholder.
/students/ Option one Option two Option three
- 10
Work with us
Collaboration, expertise and partnerships, then a contact email for the department and one per group. No contact form, by request.
/work-with-us/ Option one Option two Option three
- 11
News and media
One stream of news, media, webinars and reposts. Each item is tagged, so it also appears on the right group and theme pages.
/news/ Option one Option two Option three

The editor
Sign in to the editor, open a study, change its status or add a progress update, and save. Reload the site after about 30 seconds and the change is live. Then show the people records and publication corrections. This answers what the department can edit itself.
Shown in the editor, not on the test sites.
Points to discuss
Administrators and ongoing cost
Who the one or two people editing the site will be. Then the ongoing monthly charge and what it covers.
Domain name
The client wants a name broader than a single specialty. Agree the name and who registers it.
Launch timing and budget
Launch before the end of 2026, inside the end-of-year budget deadline. The site is already pretty much built. Steps left: their content, photos, the domain name and the administrators.
Students section or supervisors only
Keep the full students section, or show supervisors only. Both are built, so this is a content choice.
What they need to supply
Photos of people and places, the real how-to-apply link, and the brand files (fonts and wordmark) for the branded build.
The ORCID confirmation list
A short list of researchers, groups and ORCID iDs found so far. They confirm who belongs where and fill the gaps, so the publication feed is complete.
