How to plan a life-sciences website around audiences, services, applications, and evidence, with a structure your team can maintain.

## Map the audience questions before naming pages.

Start with the people who need to use the site: a researcher evaluating a service, a partner exploring a capability, or a buyer comparing an approach. Write down what each needs to understand and the next step available to them. Those questions are a stronger starting point than copying the company organisation chart.

## Separate services, products, and applications.

A service page explains work a customer can commission. A product page explains what a product does. An application page connects a capability to a particular task or context. These pages can link to one another without repeating the same introduction everywhere. Create a separate page when there is enough specific material to answer a distinct question.

- Service: what the team does and what a project involves.

- Product: capabilities, relevant workflows, and supporting resources.

- Application: the context, the need, and the relevant service or product.

## Use project examples to test the structure.

TrueCourse is a useful reference for presenting specialist bioscience services and connected workflows. Virscidian provides a different example: scientific software organised around products and applications. Use those distinctions when planning your own navigation. The right structure depends on what your business offers, rather than a fixed list of pages for every scientific company.

## Keep evidence close to the claim it supports.

Decide where approved publications, technical documents, diagrams, and methodology belong. An overview can introduce the subject and lead to the detail, while a resource entry can include enough context to help a visitor decide whether to open it. Your scientific reviewers should confirm the wording and source material before publication.

## Test the sitemap with real content.

Take one service or product and fill out the proposed structure before creating the full site. Check whether the page answers the audience’s questions, whether its links are useful, and whether your team can maintain it. Assign an owner to recurring content such as resources and company updates. Missing material should become a content task, not an empty page.

## Your questions, answered.

### Should every audience have its own section?

Only when it needs a genuinely different set of information or journey. Shared product and service pages can support several audiences without duplicating the content.

### How many pages should a life-sciences website have?

The page count follows the offer and the content. Start with the questions that need complete answers, then combine or separate pages based on how people will use them.
