Texas A&M Science Site UI

The Story

Originally, we initiated the redesign of our college website to adapt us to a responsive framework. After discussing needs with our dean & coworkers, we adapted the goal to implement a new framework while also adapting the look to our new university branding and adding more automated content from our SQL database system.

Ideally this would help streamline maintenance of information for a limited staff, increase visibility of our faculty & student research and improve the impression of our college for potential students & donors.

After researching trends and polling internal communicators, we went with Bootstrap.

Because we had a strong news department. Emphasis is given to our news content. Categorization of all news content helps to keep fresher content highlighted across the site, no matter what the entry-point, and coordinates with our social media and email newsletter.

The Results

Streamlined data allowed our departments to gather a lot of information quickly from the college. We had fewer questions coming in from students. News was showcased and we heard from former students and campus that it helped increase the visibility of our story. Win!
