Aston University Spin-Out Website Design
Web Design & SEO
Project Overview
Fibraxis is a pioneering biotech spin-out company from Aston University, focused on developing cutting-edge biomedical solutions rooted in academic research.
This was the third university spin-out website I’ve created — and the second for Aston — giving me a solid understanding of how to translate complex, research-led ventures into accessible, engaging digital platforms.
My Approach
Working from a clear brief, pre-supplied content, and an evolved logo created by local brand designer Laura Anne Design, I focused on delivering a clean, confident site that allows the science to take centre stage.
The goal was to create a simple, fast-loading, and visually clear site that could effectively introduce Fibraxis to potential investors, collaborators, and stakeholders.
The layout is intentionally minimal and elegant, with space for content to breathe and for visuals to carry weight. It was important that the site feel professional but not overly corporate — reflective of the team’s academic background and the innovative work they’re doing in biomedical research.
With SEO baked in from the ground up, the site is structured to support discoverability without overwhelming visitors with technical content.
Clear navigation, intuitive structure and considered copy all help communicate credibility from the first click.
Key Features
- Professional Web Design A clean, modern site tailored to communicate a research-driven, early-stage biotech company’s mission.
- Collaborative Workflow Close collaboration with the client and brand designer to deliver a smooth, on-time launch.

Results
The site was completed swiftly and with minimal revision — a testament to the clear brief and smooth collaboration across the project team.
The client was extremely pleased with the final outcome, and the site now gives Fibraxis a credible, professional foundation from which to grow and communicate their work to the wider world.
Client Feedback
“We worked with Andrew to conceptualise & build our start-up site. From the off, he demonstrated a keen level of curiosity for our business and the professionalism to translate it into an engaging online presence. Timelines & deliverables were set early & met consistently, and the site only required a couple of minor copy revisions before being finalised. Overall, the process was near-effortless, and Andrew was a pleasure to have guiding the work.”
