For many publicly funded trials, participant communication is limited by institutional websites that are slow to change, difficult to read on mobile, and not designed for recruitment or retention.

Even small improvements — clearer explanations, easier navigation, mobile-friendly layouts — can make a measurable difference to:

• Whether people decide to take part

• Whether they fully understand what participation involves

• Whether they stay engaged once enrolled

Clinical trial microsites provide a lightweight, governance-friendly way to make those improvements, without replacing or modifying your institution’s main website.

Designed around real-world constraints:

• Information-only by default
  (no data capture, no tracking)

• Optional contact via email-only forms
  (messages sent directly to the study team, nothing stored)

• Compatible with ethics and data-protection requirements

• No dependency on central web teams or complex CMS workflows

Designed for how participants now engage with information:

• Mobile-first and easy to browse

• Clear structure for non-specialist audiences

• Simple to share via link or QR code

• Familiar interaction patterns that reduce friction and confusion

The result is clearer participant understanding, fewer avoidable drop-offs, and lower administrative burden for study teams — achieved through small, targeted communication improvements.
