When a student from IIT Roorkee approached BlckBlu, they had a clear objective: to create a comprehensive Climatology Lab website that would serve as a centralized hub for faculty, students, and research data. The website needed to showcase ongoing and completed research projects, faculty expertise, student contributions, and a well-structured database for easy access to climatology studies.
At BlckBlu, we began by understanding their data structure and research workflows. We designed a clean, research-focused interface with categorized project listings, dynamic filtering options, and a faculty-student directory. To ensure accessibility and ease of use, we implemented a searchable database for research papers, ongoing studies, and project archives.
