Revolutionising Digital Experience: The Mater Research Website rebuild

In an ambitious initiative to elevate its digital presence, Mater Research undertook a comprehensive overhaul of its website, transitioning from Kentico 9 to the cutting-edge Kentico Xperience platform. This transformation not only modernised the website’s look and functionality but also delivered substantial improvements in user experience, accessibility, and security.

Enhancing User Experience 

The website redesign prioritised an intuitive and engaging user experience. Navigation was streamlined to facilitate access to research data, updates, and resources. A clean and user-centric interface was implemented to encourage interaction and engagement. These efforts reflect Mater Research's commitment to excellence and innovation in medical research.

  • Screen reader compatibility 
  • Keyboard navigation 
  • High-contrast modes 


Screen reader & tab navigation accessibility functionality and colour contrast


Empowering Web Editors 

The Kentico Xperience platform offers web editors an intuitive and efficient interface. This facilitates easier content updates, streamlines workflows, and provides greater control over content presentation. This allows the Mater Research team to maintain and enhance their online presence with agility and efficiency.

A Secure and Scalable Infrastructure 

The rebuild leverages Kentico Xperience's support for Microsoft Azure to create a secure and serverless deployment architecture. This ensures: 

  • High availability 
  • Scalability 
  • Reduced operational overhead 

By utilising Azure's robust infrastructure, the site's security is strengthened while performance and scalability are optimised. 


Seamless and Secure Access 

The integration of Microsoft Azure Active Directory Seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) streamlines user access and bolsters security. This enables Mater Research team members to automatically sign in to the website when using corporate devices connected to the corporate network. This seamless access enhances security and simplifies the login process. 

The Mater Research website rebuild demonstrates a commitment to advancing digital experiences through design, technology, and innovative solutions. The transition to Kentico Xperience and the integration of Microsoft Azure capabilities have modernised the platform. This provides a powerful tool that supports Mater Research's mission and enhances its digital interactions with the global research community.
