Genome Alberta – Website Design & SEO Strategy for a Genomics Nonprofit

A modern, accessible WordPress website built to spotlight the organization’s role in advancing genomics research, funding, and collaboration throughout Calgary and across Alberta.

The Why Behind the Work

As a government-funded nonprofit, Genome Alberta needed a website that could clearly communicate complex research, attract funding interest, and support partners across scientific, academic, and public sectors. Their goals included:

  • Redesigning the website with an intuitive structure and accessible design
  • Communicating the real-world impact of genomics in a compelling, approachable way
  • Showcasing research collaborations, funding programs, and scientific updates
  • Boosting SEO performance to expand awareness and visibility in the field
  • The brand is the foundation—the website design leverages it to create a credible, approachable online presence.
