Creating the digital campus for traditional education institutions.

A successful education site must talk to a broad spectrum of users, each with a unique goal in mind.

Challenges

  • User interface design

    Designing a user interface (UI) that is aesthetically appealling, brand enhancing and also enhances the user experience is key to any new education website. Designing with user flows and conversion goals in mind, we create a suite of interface components, that allow a consistent experience across the site.

  • Cross-device compatibility

    While mobile use is continually growing, education websites still tend to be visited by a broad range of devices. We build all our sites to remain a fantastic functional experience, regardless of device size or type.

  • Accessibility

    All of our development and design considerations are found in accessiblity. We build to, or exceed, WCAG industry standards with all deployed sites.

  • Content and CMS

    Tending to be content heavy, we work with all education clients to simplify, clarify and write content that is optimised out of the box on launch. Short, concise and engaging is the default approach for all content, giving users what they need, when they need it. We build out our content management solutions to allow stakeholders the simplest experience when making updates.

  • Performance and optimisation

    With generally high traffic from multiple locations, as well as numerous periods of peak demand for content, it's important that we architect hosting and cloud technology to maximise speed of load, traffic balancing, uptime and redundancy. With a high number of content alterations it is vital to have backup up and recovery strategies in place. Our certified in-house Amazon Web Solutions (AWS) infrastructure team handle this for all of our projects.

  • Search - on and off site

    Being found is the key to the growth and enrolment component with any education institution. We create code bases that are semantically structured, and optimised for indexing by search engines. We also work to create specific landing pages for performance tracking via analytics. Once on-site, search changes in nature to help users find specific content. We use various technologies to enhance search, but specifically Elastic Search, to allow fully customised search experiences for users.

The new website has a lot better engagement from our audiences, particularly those using mobile devices. It’s also received a lot of positive feedback from current and potential families who like how much easier it is to navigate.
