Extrica web design

Extrica is an international platform for open-access journals and scientific conferences. We worked on two main areas: the public website and a custom-built manager platform used by editors, reviewers, and authors to handle article submissions and publishing workflows.

The goal was to create a professional, easy-to-navigate site that highlights journals, articles, and conferences. It had to support high volumes of content and guide different users through complex information structures.

We used a clean, modular layout system that can scale with new journals and content. Interfaces were kept minimal and task-focused, especially on the manager side, to support efficient workflows.
