A Project's website is its entry point and digital representation in the online world. As part of the SPOTTERON Package B, we provide a modern, responsive, and easy-to-use project website based on our framework for projects with Smartphone Apps or as a stand-alone for projects focusing on website-based online surveys. All websites are built on an administration-friendly Content Management System (CMS) and work well on Smartphones, Tablets, and other devices. The CMS is optimized for easy administration and contains various extensions, which provide essential tools for creating new content like news, information pages, or media presentations quickly. You can create any amount of content freely as you like; there are no limitations to the number of pages or items. 
 
Advanced functionalities allow the website extension for further use-cases and requirements, from Form Builders to Multi-User Blogging, from Media Integrations to the SPOTTERON Community Pack, which brings a user login to the website and interactive sections like a User Forum.

A community directly on your Citizen Science project's homepage

With the new Community Pack for Websites, we can integrate a communication platform into your Citizen Science homepage. With this set of features, participants from your Citizen Science App can also log into the website with just a click. There can be a forum application on the website, which allows a much deeper conversion and topic-structured communication. Users can ask questions, discuss the science behind or give feedback in a user forum. More community options include a full-feature blogging component, which is easy to use and allows a low-barrier creation of content items in a blog style. An intuitive editor and the option to allow particular users from the app or your team to contribute frequently to a project's Citizen Science Blog are additional benefits. Use your homepage not only as static content - engage your community with the SPOTTERON Community Pack for Websites!
