Deep Ocean Education Project

NOAA and the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation were looking to create a collaborative website with three giants of the ocean; NOAA Ocean Exploration, Schmidt Ocean Institute, and Nautilus Live – Ocean Exploration Trust. This website seamlessly connects the resources on all three contributing partner’s sites to a collaborative educational hub; the Deep Ocean Education Project. We’re beyond proud of this design and site build.

Deep Ocean Education Project – Global

The Design

The Gecko creative team knew the Deep Ocean Education Project website needed to be something special. With access to thousands of gorgeous photos curated by NOAA, we were off to the races. The typography and graphic elements throughout the site are both clean and compelling to highlight the stunning photography and videography from the partner organizations.

On the homepage, you will find a Netflix style slider where several featured Resources are easily digested. From there, a user can “Explore” all Resources, or add the featured ones to their own Educator Collection.

Beyond that, there is an entire page dedicated to the three magnificent vessels of the contributing partners; NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer, E/V Nautilus, and R/V Falkor.

Gecko Designs was absolutely thrilled to work with several important leaders in science and technology and are beyond proud of the new Deep Ocean Education Project. Are you interested in crafting a stunning user experience for your clients? We’d love to help.

Gecko Designs did an amazing job creating our new logo. When the initial concepts didn’t quite match our vision, they went above and beyond to provide fresh ideas until we found the perfect fit. Their creativity, patience, and professionalism made the process seamless. Highly recommend!

I asked Gecko for help with an old black & white photo of a family member. The photo is important to our family but had some significant flaws. Gecko corrected the photo in exactly the way we requested, and even offered a couple of versions for us to consider. They were quick and responsive, and the work was excellent.

We engaged with Gecko Designs for logo/branding and a static website. Their process was smooth, predictable, and yielded the results we wanted. We would highly recommend Gecko Designs and look forward to working with them again!

I have worked with other website designers who did not listen to my concerns nor take the time to explain to me what the process entailed and the mutual goals we were trying to accomplish with my firm website. Also, after the website went live they returned my calls and answered my emails - wow that did not happen with other companies before. Nor was i shuffled off to multiple minions whom i needed to educate again and again about the services my law firm provides. Our main contact Maggie M. has remained our main contact and she has been great to work with - very patient with a guy who started practicing law when faxes were the cutting edge of technology. Finally. Gecko provided onsite training which will help us manage many things on our own without the need to incur additional fees in the future. i highly recommend this organization.
