Strategy
Online Surveys
We wanted to hear directly from students how they use the website and what's most important to them. This allowed us to base our design decisions on real students and their unique needs.
Design
We worked with NSU to create desktop and mobile designs in tandem. We NSU has a larger than average portion of mobile users and we wanted to prioritize their user experience as well.
Development
NSU needed the works when it came to development: content migration, lots of integrations, advanced content workflows and training. Good thing they partnered with KWALL!
Interactive Social Wall
To bring out NSU's vibrant campus life we designed a social wall that incorporates Instagram, Twitter, athletics and video content.
Simple Steps to Apply
Students don't want to hunt all over your website to find the documents they need to apply. We created a simple graphic that shows how to apply and links to all the relevant pages.
News & Events
NVU has some incredible traditions, like the Gypsy Days parade, Concerts and games. They needed a robust systems to feature all of their rich traditions
