Aether aims to break into the education market, and journal publishing is the chosen path for this venture. The goal of the website is to create an accessible platform for students and authors, available to anyone, anywhere. Many existing Indian platforms fall short in areas such as design, functionality, and convenience.
Although students and authors have various options, most are either too expensive or require compromises due to a lack of better alternatives. This platform will also help gather valuable student data, providing deeper insights into their needs and preferences.

In the user study for Aether's website, we set clear objectives to understand user behaviors, preferences, and challenges encountered while navigating the platform. We identified key user groups and prioritized them based on their significance, subsequently developing an information architecture informed by insights gained from the user personas.

Aether is built on a solid design foundation grounded in atomic design principles.
During the creation of Aether's wireframes, Atomic Design principles were applied to ensure a cohesive, scalable, and consistent design system. Beginning at the atomic level, fundamental elements such as buttons, form inputs, and typography were defined. These atoms were designed to be versatile and reusable across various parts of the website, ensuring consistency in Aether's visual language. By establishing a robust foundation of atoms, the team was able to efficiently build more complex components.
The development process of these wireframes was iterative, involving multiple rounds of feedback and refinement to achieve the desired user experience. Initially, low-fidelity wireframes were created to outline the basic structure and flow, focusing on layout and primary interactions without delving into detailed design elements.
The wireframes were then reviewed by stakeholders and potential users, providing critical insights into usability issues and areas for improvement. Based on this feedback, the wireframes underwent several iterations, each refining the design to better meet user needs. Once a satisfactory design was achieved, the low-fidelity wireframes were upgraded to high-fidelity versions.

Progressing to molecules and organisms, we combined these atoms into functional units and sections that form the core of our interface. For instance, a search bar (molecule) was composed of an input field and a button (atoms), while a header (organism) integrated navigation links, a logo, and user authentication elements.
Templates and pages were developed by assembling these organisms into layouts that demonstrate the actual use cases on Aether's site, such as the homepage and article detail pages. This structured approach not only facilitated a systematic design process but also ensured that each component was optimized for reuse, making it easier to maintain consistency and make updates across the platform.

By providing a platform that is accessible to everyone, Aether aims to democratize access to research, ensuring that valuable scientific discoveries are available to a global audience. This approach not only enhances the visibility of research but also encourages a more inclusive and collaborative scientific community.
The goal is to Create an open-access journal platform for Aether that maximizes the impact of scientific research through openness and global collaboration as we truly believe that science works best when research is open.
