Specialised scientific information on the internet

A main consideration is the user of your website

Scientific websites can use scientific language when presenting sophisticated contents, in particular if the users are scientist themselves. The world wide web was developed for just this purpose: exchange of scientific information. Tim Berners-Lee developed the first website at the European Organization for Nuclear Reserch (CERN) in Geneva in 1998 to facilitate an exchange of ideas.

Well-designed websites based on a clear concept may be even able to convey scientific information to an amateur public. The currently and commonly used ‘block layout’ of badly designed scientific and search websites is no technical necessity but reflects a lack of professional web design.

manderbachmedia has developed a number of websites with scientific background. We refer you to our list of website customers to convince you that a high quality of web design and scientific standards are not mutually exclusive but may benefit from each other.

For example: www.fliessgewaesserbewertung.de

"Fließgewässerbewertung" is the German word for "river assessment". fliessgewaesserbewertung.de was developed based on the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) and offers information and discussion opportunities on river assessment with benthic invertebrates in Germany.

Aims of the website are the description of new methods to assess rivers with benthic invertebrates in Germany and the presentation of new results in applied aquatic ecology

Numerous pages summarize the current scientific knowledge for an quality assessment of rivers and streams and present this knowledge using tables and fomulas (indices). The website also represents a platform for the download of study material and software-applications.

Background information allows the layperson to get an overview of the scientific contents, often illustrated with pictures.
