SCI - Modernising a historic scientific society’s digital platform for members and events
Building a modern, accessible digital platform that helps members discover events, content and connections, and engage with confidence.
The Challenge
SCI is a long-established forum where science meets business, supporting events, membership and knowledge exchange across disciplines since 1881. However, its existing website had not been updated in over a decade and no longer met the organisation’s needs, leaving users with a poor experience and internal teams struggling to manage content efficiently.
The old site was outdated, hard to navigate and did not support SCI’s core business functions.
Events and membership journeys were confusing and did not reflect user needs.
Over 20,000 pieces of content needed structured migration into a new, scalable platform.
What We Delivered
We delivered a complete overhaul of SCI’s digital platform, starting with in-depth scoping workshops that involved stakeholders from marketing, events, membership, digital content and IT teams. This collaborative approach ensured every element of the new site aligned with real user and organisational needs.
Using a Scaled Agile Framework, we redesigned the site on the Sitecore platform and integrated it with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, bringing together complex data, functionality and third-party systems into a cohesive digital ecosystem. Throughout the project we maintained close coordination with multiple partners, delivering frequent progress and ensuring technical alignment.
In addition to a modernised UX and visual design, we migrated tens of thousands of content items into the new CMS, streamlined the event and membership journeys, and created a flexible structure that supports future enhancements such as improved search and phased feature releases — helping SCI engage its audience more effectively and support its mission for decades to come.
