paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel.
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
We tend to forget that science often deals with organic matter.
Although “bio” means “life”, most associate it with a cold lab where faceless scientists manipulate complex machinery. The simplest way to change it is to switch the word “bio” to the one used daily — “nature”.
“Nature” moves the focus from machinery to organic processes encountered every day.
Take a look at a startup called huue. They are nature’s advocates focusing on making dyes less toxic with the help of biotech. In this case, biotechnology is a tool to fulfill their mission.
Focusing on nature also plays off a biophilia effect. People strive to connect with nature. It is a magnet for humans. So any tool that brings them closer to it is a good guy in the story.
Making language more inclusive helps customers understand the science behind the product or service.
One subtle and non-preachy way to educate your audience is to provide a glossary.
Adyn matches birth control with each person individually with the help of a simple in-home test. They are on a mission to put people in charge of their birth control plan.

The small detail like the glossary helps adyn build trust with the audience. All information is out and the brand encourages the audience to take complete control over it.

In the end, Instagram helps implement their products and creates a platform to engage with people.
Thanks to the entertainment industry, many people associate science with catastrophe and deceit. Although some movies are worth indulging, it is better to build new mental connections.
Sage therapeutics takes their joyful image seriously. The startup develops novel drugs for brain disorders and utilizes its visual identity to confront the perception of neuroscience.
Each web page is filled with fun, colorful illustrations to convey friendship and ease. Those childlike pictures and bright colors connect neuroscience to joy and hope.
Clear labeling supports brand transparency. A popular application removes the confusion and fits new science and technology into their lives. People need to have clear answers to the following questions:
Neurable is a startup that “translates brain activity into simple, actionable insights you can use in your everyday life.” But for people, it is a company that makes headphones to help you focus.
Your startup in science and technology will have various audience groups. Each has its vocabulary.
K18HAIR splits the audience on their website to cater their content to professionals and “at-home”. This approach builds credibility with experts while avoiding overwhelming non-experts.
Finding the solution to the problem starts with noting and understanding the problem.
Quaise takes a stand to create a new way of sourcing energy. As they develop their solution, they use their home page to guide people through their thinking and technology.
Having a mission is essential to any startup. But to engage with people, startups need to prove that their mission is feasible.
Short-term benefits and feasible calls to action serve as such proof. For example, a startup Kencko creates nutritious smoothies. “Eat more plants, the easy way” is a headline anyone can act on.
When there are no risks involved, your audience will not lose anything from trying it.
