Atypon’s Responsive Site Design Includes Specialized Open Access Tools

SANTA CLARA, CA— June 29, 2016— Edinburgh University Press (EUP) relaunched its publication website in May on Literatum, Atypon’s online publishing platform. EUP’s 40 journals have been hosted by Atypon since 2008.

The new, fully responsive site was constructed using Page Builder, Literatum’s widget-based user experience (UX) design tool that allows publishers to manage their websites’ interface and content, and easily create new journals, landing pages, and microsites.

Page Builder’s responsive design widgets enforce Atypon’s UX 3.0, a set of principles for designing and developing personalized, consumerized websites that actively attract new users and encourage their frequent return.

“We are thrilled with the responsive architecture of our newly relaunched website,” said Sarah McDonald, Head of Journals at EUP. “Our readers will now have the same satisfying reading experience no matter what device they use to access EUP content.”

A special open access (OA) browse tool leverages Literatum’s powerful onsite discovery engine. By filtering out all non-OA content from search results, it promotes the use and visibility of OA journals. A new intuitive interface and streamlined navigation reduce the number of clicks needed for readers to reach their desired content.

“We value our long relationship with EUP and are excited to see the principles of UX 3.0 at work on their new website,” said Georgios Papadopoulos, Atypon’s founder and CEO. “The new modern design and architecture are meant to both improve their readers’ experience on the site and increase the reach and strength of EUP’s brand.”

For the new launch, Atypon worked closely with EUP’s design firm to create a site tailored specifically to every mobile device’s size, shape, and screen orientation. Atypon’s in-house team also offers end-to-end website design and development services.
