Mammoth’s mission is to leverage CRISPR’s power to democratize disease detection by bringing accurate and affordable testing out of the laboratory and into the point of care. Recently, the company has been developing a rapid COVID-19 test designed to handle thousands of samples per day.
Mammoth’s co-founder, Jennifer Doudna, was co-awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry for her pioneering work in CRISPR gene editing.
The Background
To accommodate their rapid growth and the increasing popularity of CRISPR technology, Mammoth decided to invest in a new modern website.
They needed a project that would match the current web design and usability trends: an informative website that creates value for the visitors but does not appear cluttered.
The Challenge
Ambiscale’s (formerly Cut2Code) task was to create a fast, responsive, and interactive website with a content management system. We wanted the client dashboard to be easy to use even by people with limited technical expertise. Moreover, the website should operate at lightspeed even when it’s content-heavy.
The client aimed at a detailed and sophisticated look, well-optimized architecture and a carefully planned information hierarchy.
We took on the challenge of delivering all of the above within a very limited timeframe.
The Process
We analyzed Mammoth’s requirements and recommended using WordPress to power the new website. WordPress provides an intuitive admin dashboard, multiple customization options, and a rich collection of plugins.
To fit the limited timeframe, we assembled a team of six (developers, a project manager, and a quality specialist). The front-end and back-end developers worked side-by-side, so the HTML didn’t have to wait for the CMS or vice versa.
This approach streamlined the project and reduced the delivery time. Then, we optimized the website for the best performance on all devices.
We utilized the full power of Gutenberg, a rich media editor that allows for content management using customizable rich media blocks. The blocks can be easily rearranged and styled to build all types of structures, from simple content containers to advanced interactive layouts.
The Outcome
Despite the short timeframe and quite a complex design, we delivered an optimized, elegant solution. Thanks to the team’s combined and coordinated effort, Mammoth can showcase their innovative initiatives and share their expertise.
We’re proud to serve a company that revolutionizes the modern biotech industry, and we’re happy to say that we’re currently working on an e-commerce platform for distributing Mammoth’s products.
