Statistical Solutions Ltd or “Statsols” is an Irish-based sample size software company located in Cork. They are responsible for the development of a piece of software called nQuery, which is used by statisticians in over 90% of pharmaceutical companies worldwide to measure the success and failure of clinical trials at all stages.
From May 2018 to June 2019, I worked at the company as a Multimedia Designer & Digital Content Coordinator. In that period I produced a number of elements from traditional print and graphic design, to web design as well as video production.
Statsols / nQuery Website
From September to December 2018, the Statsols website underwent an entire design and navigational overhaul. Using HubSpot as both the CRM tool and CMS tool for the website, we were able to purchase the website template, Neambo Act 2. Which is a Vue Js embedded design template and framework that had design elements that were fully flexible and configurable.
Some notable pages include:
The Sample Size Resource Centre
A one-stop shop that contains material on how to get started, webinars, white papers, blog posts, case studies, etc.
Sample Size Examples Page
A page where customers can view more examples of how the software can be used according to the type of clinical trial design and therapeutic area.
The Blog
Which covers everything from news about nQuery to industry-leading developments and practices.
nQuery Knowledge Base
The nQuery Knowledge Base was built in conjunction with the new Statsols website to replace an out-of-date support section that previously resided on the prior iteration of the website. The goal of creating the new knowledge base was to create a dedicated media-rich support website for existing and prospective customers with support content that could easily be found through traditional navigation methods or by parsing certain keywords and terms in the search bar.
Unlike the Statsols website, the Knowledge Base was created in Salesforce to allow registered customers to log tickets specific to their licensed pieces of software.
2018 & 2019 Cork Digital Marketing Awards
In 2018, Statsols won the award for Best Website for a Small to Medium-Sized Business in the Digital Marketing Awards. The following year, Statsols made it to the finals in the same category and was a runner-runner up.
Video Work
While at Statsols, over 50 videos were produced and published to Youtube where they were sorted and categorised. This range of videos included webinars, tutorials, interviews, product highlights, etc.
In addition to capturing and editing videos, Thumbnails, along with a branded motion graphic, in and out transitions, and a lower third was added to the start and end of each video.
Additional Design Assets
Throughout the year, additional graphics and print materials were created for key events such as publications, conventions and social outings, all of which were created with the company’s visual style and identity in mind. These design assets included trade banners, brochures, infographics, screensavers, emails, etc.
