Case Study: Australian Academy of Science boosts engagement and usability with Webplace's Nova website redevelopment

Australian Academy of Science boosts Nova engagement with Webplace, earning a System Usability Score of 82.8

The Australian Academy of Science engaged Webplace to redevelop its Nova website. The challenge was to create a more scientifically literate public by transforming the site into an engaging and interactive "go to" science reference for students, teachers, and the general public, while also improving collaboration with other science providers.

Webplace conducted stakeholder research and deployed the Drupal content management system to create a new multi-layered user interface and content framework. The result was a highly usable site, evidenced by a System Usability Score of 82.8 and a Net Promoter Score of 13. The redevelopment immediately attracted new social media followers and positive feedback from scientists, successfully broadening the site's reach and appeal.
