Design reasoning

Decisions, and why.

  • Each property speaks as the part of the organisation it represents

    The shop speaks as the Apothecary, the division that sells, rather than in the institution's research language. A customer searching for what they are buying finds the product, not a description of the organisation's mission.

  • Shared wording lives in one place

    Canonical copy, such as the chain of frameworks and the primary navigation, is defined once and reused across pages, so the institution describes itself the same way everywhere.

  • One system behind four front doors

    All four properties share one database. The dashboard works on the same records the website and shop create, so nothing is copied or re-entered between systems.
