Biotech website design and development, built around your objectives.
Axxiem designs and builds custom, responsive WordPress websites for biotech, life science and growth companies. We start with your business objectives, build the complete site on a private demo location for your review, and test it thoroughly before it goes live.
What does biotech website design and development include?
Biotech website design and development at Axxiem covers everything from the first conversation about your objectives to a tested, launched WordPress site: business analysis and consulting, design and content, development, client review on a private demo site, and full QA testing. We build custom, responsive sites for the audiences that matter to you, including investors, partners, scientists, customers and recruits.

Designed for the people who visit
A website does not need to appeal to everyone, only to your target audiences. Choose one to see how we think about it.
What they look for
A clear view of what you do, why it matters, who is behind it and where you are headed, found quickly.
How we design for them
We put your story and your milestones first, use visuals to make complex science clear, and keep the path to your team and your contact page short.
What they look for
Evidence that your platform is credible and that your team is a good fit to work with.
How we design for them
We present your technology, your capabilities and your people with the right level of detail, supported by animation where it explains more than text can.
What they look for
Depth and accuracy: the science, the data and the people behind it.
How we design for them
We layer the content so the headline is clear at a glance and the detail is one click away, and we welcome scientific review on your side before launch.
What they look for
To understand quickly what you offer, whether it fits their need, and how to take the next step.
How we design for them
We lead with plain language and strong visuals, and we make each call to action easy to find on every screen size.
What they look for
A sense of your mission, your culture and the people they would join.
How we design for them
We give your team and your values room on the page, so the site reflects your vision, focus and culture.

Website design questions, answered
What does Axxiem build?
We design and build custom, responsive WordPress websites for biotech, life science and growth companies, and for the green tech, nonprofit, legal, financial and local businesses that shape how we live. Every project includes business analysis, design and content consulting, development, a private demo for your review, and full QA testing before launch.
What is the first step in a website project?
Business analysis and consulting. Our first question is about your business objectives, not about technology. A website does not need to appeal to everyone, only to your target audiences, so we learn who they are, what they want and what you need the site to achieve.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. Redesigns are most of our work. Many of the websites we redesign were launched without clearly defined objectives, so we begin by defining them with you, then design the new site around your audiences.
Will I see the website before it goes live?
Yes. Every site is fully built on our private demo location before launch, and regular client reviews take place there, typically weekly or biweekly on Zoom. You click through the real site, give feedback and see changes before anything goes public.
How do you test a website before launch?
Once the site is fully functional, our Quality Assurance team runs full QA test protocols. Our programming and QA teams use AxxiTRAC, our bug tracking and testing tool, so every issue is logged, fixed and verified before the site goes live.
Do you help with content and images?
Content consulting is included with every project. We work with you to identify key points, or call outs, that carry your message at a glance. You provide source material and scientific review where it matters, and every project includes access to the complete Shutterstock photo library.
Can you create custom graphics or animation for the site?
Yes. Our graphics team develops custom graphics, animations and videos, including mechanism of action animation and scroll-driven storytelling. These are scoped with the website so the visuals and the layout work together.
How long does a website project take?
It depends on the scope and on how quickly feedback comes back. We agree a schedule once we understand the project, and regular meetings keep it on track. Projects move fastest when we have your objectives and key messages at the start and one person who can make decisions.
How much does a website cost?
Cost depends on the scope: the number of pages, how much custom graphics and animation your story needs, and which services you want around the site. We scope and quote after the first conversation so the number reflects your actual objectives. Nonprofits can ask about AxxiCARE, where projects are budgeted by need.
Who hosts and supports the website after launch?
We offer WordPress hosting on dedicated servers at AWS, with 24/7 support from our global support team. Because we host the sites we build, the team that built your website stays behind it after launch.
Will people be able to find my website in search?
We build pages with search in mind, using clear titles, headings and structure. Our social media and digital marketing team can also provide search engine optimization, on-page optimization and Google Analytics after launch.
Do you work with startups and nonprofits?
Yes. Startups, including companies coming out of stealth, often need the most help defining objectives and messaging, so we spend time on that first. Nonprofits can work with us through AxxiCARE, our program for selected nonprofit and educational organizations.

Share your goals and your audience. We will come back with a clear plan for the website and the marketing around it.
