PubMed

PubMed The National Institute of Health’s (NIH) National Center for Biotechnology Information’s (NCBI) biomedical literature site. The site houses over 37 million citations, abstracts, and literature pieces and is seen within the Biomedical field as the Google of Biomedical literature. NCBI wanted to update their homepage to better fit the modern needs of their users and wanted to ensure that it met the Website Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and 508 compliance as NIH is a federal agency.

The final result was a clean, streamlined homepage that took into account the various ways that users interact with PubMed (seen in the different content blocks on the homepage). The site meet federal accessibility guidelines while still presenting a visually pleasing user experience.
