- Astro
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
- Cloudflare Pages
Overview
Novomi Vax engaged Jonathan Simpson & Co. as their first external web partner to design and build a credibility-first fundraising website. The site targets investors, pharma partners, and clinical collaborators.
The Brief
The client needed a site that felt institutional and trustworthy: communicating scientific authority and design clarity while telling an early-stage fundraising story. The primary goal: instil confidence and prompt investor contact.
Design Direction
- Full-bleed hero video with a static overlay headline for immediate impact
- Scroll-triggered text animations that are subtle enough not to slow readability and deliberate enough to signal quality
- Institutional typographic hierarchy with generous whitespace
- Section structure ordered for a fundraising narrative: problem → science → team → pipeline → contact
Technical Build
- Astro for static-first builds, with content collections ready for future news and publications
- Tailwind CSS for rapid, design-token-driven styling
- Cloudflare Pages for zero-cost global CDN delivery to international investor audiences
- Architecture reused and simplified from the agency’s own site codebase
Role
Full design and development: visual direction, Astro build, animation system, copy structure, and deployment.
