ABOUT THE WEBSITE
The Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee (ISIC) is committed to providing balanced, evidence-based scientific insights into coffee production and consumption. With a focus on both human health and environmental wellbeing, ISIC serves as a trusted reference for professionals, policymakers, and researchers who seek to understand the broader implications of coffee in our lives.
The goal of this project was to design a website that could effectively collate and present the vast body of scientific research on coffee in a visually engaging, user-friendly, and accessible format. With so much information to organize, we aimed to create a platform that made complex research easy to digest and navigate, while also being visually appealing.
The website offers a comprehensive range of resources on how coffee affects health and the environment, with content continually updated as new studies are published. Information is categorized into sections addressing specific health conditions, including cardiovascular health, diabetes, cancer, and more. Our primary challenge was to develop a site that not only presented this wealth of data clearly but also ensured ease of use for visitors, allowing them to quickly find the information they need.
One of the key features of the site is a dedicated section that catalogs all research papers related to coffee and caffeine’s impact on health, dating back to 2010. This massive resource is regularly updated with new studies, providing a continually growing archive. To make this wealth of information more accessible, we developed a custom filtering system that allows users to search through thousands of research papers, ensuring they can quickly find studies relevant to their interests.
In addition to these core features, the website is designed with simplicity and usability in mind, making it easy to update and maintain, ensuring that ISIC can continue to provide up-to-date, reliable information to its audience.
