Site model

Part 1

How the site is organised

Six sections in the main menu, two more pages in the footer. Research themes and research groups are two ways into the same studies.

How pages link to each other

• A study is written once. Its card appears on its group page, on each theme page it is tagged with, and on For participants. The card links to the study page.

• A study page links back to its group, to each of its themes, and to the study lead's entry on the group page.

• A person is written once. The full entry is on their group page. A short card shows on Home if flagged, and on For students if they are a student or a supervisor. Short cards link to the full entry.

• A news post appears in News and media, in Latest news on Home, and on each group and theme page it is tagged with.

• Themes and groups point at each other. A theme page lists the groups working on it, and a group page lists its themes, both worked out from the studies.

• Papers appear on their group page and on Publications. The full lists fill themselves each night from public ORCID records.

• Note: your July tabs (Explore our science, Our lab, For our participants, News and media) became the structure you sent on 4 November, and that is what is built.
• Note: Collaborations and Education and outreach are not separate pages yet. Collaboration lives on Work with us and in the group introductions.
• Note: "Our lab" and "Meet our lab members" have no page of their own. People sit on their group page, and careers and study sit on For students.
• Note: there is no single grid of themes against groups. The two lists have a switch between them, and each theme and group page links across to the other.
• Note: About and Publications are in the footer, not the main menu, to keep the menu to six items. Each group page also carries its own publications.

Part 2

The content types you edit

Everything on the site comes from eight places in the editor. The names below are the labels you see there. Required marks a field the editor will not save without.

• Note: the July list had six content types. Site settings (the site name and department email) are set up once by us rather than edited. Partners and collaborators is not a content type yet; partners are named in the Work with us and group text.
• Note: Research groups, Research themes, Publication list corrections and Page text are new since July, to fit the structure you sent on 4 November.

Part 3

What each page is made of

Eleven page types, drawn as plain blocks. Each block says which content type fills it. The same blocks are on all four options; only the design changes.

• Set wording, the same on every site
• Header and footer, on every page

• Note: the July list had seven page types. There is no separate page per person: as in your 4 November plan, full entries sit on the group page and short cards link to them.
• Note: Our people on Home is a grid of up to eight, not a carousel.
• Note: each study has its own page, as you asked on 4 November, not one page with expandable sections. Adding a study adds a page from the same template.
