ENSA
The Enabling Nutrient Symbioses in Agriculture (ENSA) website serves as the central platform for an international scientific research project focused on using biological nitrogen fixation to sustainably increase yields for small-holder farmers in Africa. The site offers comprehensive information about their vision, scientific endeavours, latest news, publications, and team members. It also provides contact details and highlights partnerships with renowned institutions such as the University of Cambridge, Aarhus University, and the University of Oxford.
The ENSA (Enabling Nutrient Symbioses in Agriculture) project needed a modern, flexible, and easy-to-manage website to communicate their groundbreaking research in sustainable agriculture. They required a digital platform that could effectively showcase their mission, highlight scientific discoveries, share publications, and engage with researchers and partners worldwide. Supereight Studio was brought in to design and develop a bespoke WordPress CMS solution that would provide ENSA with complete control over their content while ensuring a seamless user experience.
Supereight built a custom WordPress backend, partnered with Blucube to tailor specifically to ENSA’s needs, allowing their team to effortlessly update research findings, news, publications, and team profiles. The CMS was designed with a modular approach, enabling administrators to add new sections, manage multimedia content, and publish updates without needing technical expertise. This provided long-term flexibility, ensuring the site could evolve as the research project expanded.
To enhance functionality and user engagement, Supereight implemented features such as dynamic research publications, an intuitive team directory, and an easily navigable news and updates section. The website was optimised for performance and accessibility, ensuring that researchers, policymakers, and the public could easily access and explore ENSA’s work across all devices.
Security and reliability were also key considerations. Supereight set up a secure managed hosting environment, ensuring the website remained protected from threats while maintaining fast loading speeds and high uptime. The result was a visually compelling, high-performance website that not only strengthened ENSA’s digital presence but also provided their team with an intuitive and scalable platform to manage content efficiently.
