The University of Washington's Mitochondria and Metabolism Center (MMC) is at the forefront of mitochondrial research. However, their website did not reflect the innovation and advancements made within. We redesigned the site to improve navigation hierarchy and content flow, as well as accessibility through increased color contrast and alt text on images. Our redesigned website enhances the user experience through improved accessibility to content, which amplifies user engagement. The redesign transitions the MMC into an era of digital excellence that reflects their significant contributions to science, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing with other research centers.
