Ryan O'Loughlin - 2024
Giving a philosopher of science a flagship digital home
A four-week sprint to turn a departmental CV page into a thesis-led Quarto site with custom CSS, interactive storytelling, and clear visitor pathways.
- Information architecture
- Narrative and content strategy
- Quarto theming + custom CSS
- Vanilla JS interactive build
Impact
- - Visitors spend 2x longer on research pages thanks to interactive explanations
- - Media requests reference the thesis statement within the first week of launch
- - Site upkeep now takes under 15 minutes with Quarto + Git workflow
We reframed the homepage around Ryan's thesis, organised publications into evidence panels, built a custom JavaScript game to demonstrate his research, and documented a GitHub Pages workflow so he can ship updates without hosting costs.
