Who are the Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES)
The Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES) is the leading professional body championing environmental scientists and practitioners. For more than a decade, Compuco has worked alongside IES to deepen member engagement and streamline core organisational processes. In this latest phase of our partnership, we helped IES step confidently into a new era with a revitalised website, member portal, and digital presence that matches the organisation’s bold strategy and future-focused identity.
The Challenge
IES had outgrown its previous website and visual identity. The experience felt dated, and the design no longer reflected the energy, innovation, and progressive thinking that defines the environmental science community. Their digital platforms needed a step-change: greater clarity, stronger impact, and a user experience capable of positioning IES as a modern leader in the sector.
The Objective
IES set out to:
- Launch a refreshed, contemporary brand that signals authority, ambition, and relevance in environmental science.
- Transform the website into a flagship digital platform that raises the bar for visual design and interaction.
- Create a more intuitive, engaging experience for members and a compelling journey for prospective audiences.
Their goal was simple and powerful: a digital presence that communicates leadership, momentum, and confidence.
Our Approach & Solution
Working in close partnership with the IES team, we translated their new identity into a digital experience designed to feel alive, modern, and unmistakably IES. The new site is built around a dynamic, organic visual system inspired by movement and change in the natural world. Subtle animation, fluid interface patterns, and responsive design elements create a sense of energy and evolution that mirrors the living, shifting complexity of environmental science.
Key elements included:
- A modern visual identity featuring organic forms, fluid lines, and a nature-inspired palette with real depth and presence.
- A fully redesigned website with cleaner layouts, clearer navigation, and content structures that guide users with purpose.
- Interactive design components that introduce motion and rhythm throughout the experience, making the site feel vibrant and contemporary.
- A renewed digital platform that elevates IES as a confident, forward-looking voice and a visible leader in the sector.
Outcome
The result is a bold, high-impact digital presence that aligns with IES’s ambition and values. The new website reinforces IES’s leadership in environmental science, while delivering a clear, intuitive experience that invites exploration, builds trust, and inspires engagement across every audience
