Website Development

Websites are the primary public-facing sides to any organization, and to the astronomical community, they provide the primary interface for the wide spectrum of research-enabling tasks. Intuitive site navigation, clean graphical design, and effective user experience implementations are all important facets of a successful science website.

IPAC maintains a number of high-visibility websites that connect the astronomical community to key archives, databases, and projects. The IPAC Communications and Education group has created and maintains a wide variety of sites ranging from smaller research projects like ZTF to large missions like LIGO, IPAC, TMT, ngVLA, Spitzer, Herschel, NeoWISE and more.
