Northwestern University Responsive Education Website Design

Northwestern University needed a site that worked for students, faculty and prospective applicants without feeling like three different websites stitched together.

We unified the messaging, rebuilt the architecture to be fully responsive and designed user flows with micro-animations that move people through content quickly.

Usability scores went up after launch and so did conversions, with users spending more time on site and taking more meaningful actions like submitting applications and requesting information.

Savvas’ Smarter Support Through Education Web Design

Savvas Learning Company needed a complete rethink of their online customer and technical support experience. The old flow was built around user roles, which meant visitors had to identify themselves before they could get anything done.

We flipped that. We restructured the architecture around tasks instead of titles, so the first question became “What do you want to do?” instead of “Who are you?”

We built an interactive prototype, tested it remotely with 11 teachers and school administrators across six real scenarios and refined the experience before anything went live. The result was a faster, more intuitive support platform where users completed most tasks without getting stuck.

Miami Country Day School’s Education Website Design

MCDS is a top private school in Miami that needed a site redesign across 60+ pages, built on Blackbaud and designed to serve parents, students, faculty and alumni all at once.

We worked with over 5,000 images to capture the real feel of campus life and wrote custom copy for every audience segment.

The site launched in three months and the numbers spoke for themselves, with 15% increase in organic traffic and a 32% drop in bounce rate.

Culinary Academy Of Las Vegas Education Website Design

CALV is a nonprofit hospitality training center whose old site was losing visitors in under 15 seconds. Bounce rates were above 90% and organic reach was limited to branded searches only.

We redesigned the full experience with a mobile-first approach, restructured navigation around career pathways and built out an SEO foundation targeting high-intent local queries.

Within eight months, the average visit duration increased by 1,200%, bounce rates dropped 21% and total traffic grew by nearly 70%.

A Full Digital Overhaul For Good Reason Houston

Good Reason Houston is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving public education in the region. The existing site was built on an outdated CMS with severe performance and SEO issues.

We developed a full digital strategy, restructured the information architecture and designed and built a custom WordPress site.

Our experts added features like Tableau data visualization, a mega menu navigation, donation integration, JazzHR for careers and a modular CMS with Gutenberg blocks and Advanced Custom Fields.

Top Education & University Web Design Services

We're a full-service education & university website design agency with solutions built for higher ed institutions, training centers and online academies.

Custom Website Design

Every institution has a different story to tell. We get into the details of yours before we touch a single wireframe.

The education website design work we do starts with understanding who your audiences are, what they need and where your current site falls short.

Education & University Website Development

A good-looking site means nothing if it breaks under pressure or doesn’t talk to your systems.

We build education websites on secure, scalable foundations that integrate with student portals, CRMs and LMS platforms.

Website Redesign Services

Most universities come to us because their site stopped working for them years ago.

We audit what you have, figure out what’s dragging it down and rebuild with speed, SEO and mobile usability at the center.

Responsive Website Design

Students check your site on their phones between classes. Parents look at it on tablets at night. Faculty usually use desktops.

Our education web design process accounts for all of it.

Expert SEO Services

Ranking matters, especially when students are comparing three or four universities at the same time.

Our SEO experts handle keyword targeting, content structure, technical health and meta data as part of the education web design process, not as an afterthought.

Maintenance & Support

After launch, we’re still around.

We take care of plugin updates, CMS upgrades, security scans and performance checks.
