University website development

University websites are complex. We conduct a detailed audit of all of your websites, subsites, sections, pages and social media accounts. From this data, we’ll produce a sitemap that identifies the full structure of your digital estate and how it all interconnects. We also check that analytics are implemented properly across all sites and assets.

We review your digital governance to identify the success of your workflows, processes, roles and responsibilities. We’ll also analyse your quality assurance practices to identify any gaps and provide recommendations to improve your governance process, allowing you to be confident your website is in the best shape it can be.

To ensure your website is accessible and serving all users, we perform a technical accessibility check against WCAG 2.2 AA standards. Our accessibility experts also conduct manual accessibility testing to get a clear picture of any issues that need resolving. We’ll provide recommendations so you can easily fix any concerns.

Our UX experts assess the information architecture of your website, conducting user testing to uncover what works and what’s creating problems for your users. We’ll utilise this to improve your navigation to make key user journeys as frictionless as possible

Our UX team will then produce a content model, which presents the priorities, features, and layout of your webpages. It will determine the function of each page type and helps inform design, development, and content production.

We’ll evolve your brand and bring it to life by considering how it should look, feel and sound in a digital world. Our process combines user insight and digital brand application to develop fully component-based design systems that are future-proofed for long-term sustainability. We’ll produce creative concepts that bring your brand to life online using the latest technology to achieve engaging, inspiring digital experiences.
