Websites for experts in
everything but websites.
Built for scientists: WordPress sites for societies, science-based companies, outreach organizations and independent researchers.
Forward Momentum is run by a PhD scientist and senior software developer, so your website gets handled in plain language while you focus on your own work.
Since 2020 building for Canadian science

A site you can actually run
Many sites arrive as a page builder nobody can edit, code passed down over the years, or a platform that stopped being supported. Forward Momentum moves them onto clean, modern WordPress your team can update without a developer.
New sites
A clear site built around what it needs to do: members, meetings, products or publications. In English, French or both.
Rebuilds and migrations
Off FrontPage, legacy ASP code, or heavy builders like Avada and Elementor, onto WordPress’s own block editor.
Yours to edit
Native blocks and a light layer of CSS, with no page-builder lock-in, plus a handover your staff can actually use.
Hosted and protected
Optional hosting, updates and security, with bot and spam protection, so the site keeps working after launch.
A good fit if you’re a society, company or organization built around science, and the website is the part you’d rather not think about.
Recent work
Science Literacy Week in both of its languages, followed by the other organizations Forward Momentum works with.
Science Literacy Week
National celebration of science · Canadian Association of Science Centres
The bilingual home of Canada’s week-long celebration of science, on paired English and French domains. Organizations across Canada submit their own events, which feed a custom map of venues by province. Caching and bot protection keep it up through launch-week traffic.
Canadian Association of Science Centres
Project management for the site’s rebuild, then new program pages and ongoing content, including STEM Equity in Action and the Futurist-in-Residence program.
ScienceUpFirst
New pages, campaign content and resource posts for a national initiative countering misinformation.
Nanostics Precision Health
Rebuilt from a legacy site into a clean company site on WordPress, hosted and kept secure.
Canadian Cytometry and Microscopy Association
Moved from a legacy Microsoft-era site to WordPress, then hosted and kept secure.
Also supported: COVID-19 Resources Canada and VoteScience.ca.
Trained to find answers.
Research is about getting to answers. The same habit runs every project here.
Goal-oriented
Every project starts with what your site needs to do, and each decision is measured against that goal.
No web jargon required
You won’t need to learn how websites work. Questions come in plain language, and so do the answers.
Data-literate
A background in research data means forms and analytics are set up so the numbers you’ll want later are already there.
One point of contact
No account managers or hand-offs. The person you talk to is the person who builds your site.
