An Academic Research Website designed to recruit study participants & conduct interviews
This was a first @ FutureProof Digital, a website for a PHD student, an Academic Research Website. One of the smallest websites I’ve ever built, only a handful of pages but each served a specific purpose. It’s important to set goals and targets, especially for a website, you can’t measure success if you don’t know what success looks like. This website has two goals; recruiting participants for the study, social media clicks would be directed here for contact form and more info. In addition, a portion of the study itself would be conducted through the website, in the form of live chat interview.
About The AWESME Study, DCU
AWESME stands for Adolescents with Epilepsy’s Self-Management Experiences. It aims is to better understand how teenagers and young people manage their condition. The study is conducted in conjunction with Dublin City University & Children’s Health Ireland.
“We are doing this study to find out about adolescents experiences of living with epilepsy and how they manage it themselves. We would like to talk to adolescents and/or parents/caregivers.”
Review by The AWESME Study, DCU
“Adam made a website for me for a research project. Service was so quick and the product is excellent, exactly what I was looking for! Will use again for the next one.”

Academic Website Design in Dublin - Key Features
One of the reasons for building this Academic Research Website is to recruit people to take part in the study, and for this a Contact Page is vital. It's a simple page; phone number, email address and a contact form. A lot of businesses over-complicate this page, but as long as it features all the possible ways for people to contact you then it's job is done.

Another vital aspect of this website is to provide information to potential participants, young people with epilepsy and their parents. Studies of this type would normally send this information in the post, a PHD student with an Academic Research Website eliminates this work and the cost of postage. The user can direct people to the relevant pages via email or social media, increasing the sign-up rate.
The ability to conduct interviews online was the idea that first led to the design of awesme.org. This Academic Research Website has to have the functionality to speak with participants in real time (unlike email, or forum posts) in the way that Facebook messenger does. We created this using live chat software, more commonly seen on E-Commerce Websites. A high degree of security would also be required; we achieved this by creating a page only accessible to logged in users. The final requirement was the ability to download the chat content for analysis, the live chat software came with this function.
In order to conduct online interviews it is vital to create secure login to the site. This is important for participant confidentiality, and also for University ethics board approval of this Academic Research Website. All login details are created by the admin and sent directly to the participant, and only work for the period of time that the interview is conducted. The pages related to interview are only accessible to logged in users (the admin and the participant) and the interview function is only available on that page, multiple levels of security.
