Today’s website launch marks the third major outcome from the University’s strategic Web Development project, which is developing and transforming the University website.
Sarah Warrington, leading the redesign project, says:
“We’re delighted to deliver the final outcome for work package 2 of the Web Development project, reflecting 12 months of collaborative work between Communications & Marketing, iSolutions and hundreds of colleagues from across the University involved in the delivery of web content through SitePublisher.
The outcome is an impactful contemporary website that has been developed using current web design techniques. With the addition of some new functionality, the website now gives the visitor an engaging visual experience that is tailored to every device.
The redesign project is just the beginning, we now plan to implement continuous improvements in design and functionality, ensuring we maintain a current and engaging web presence in today’s dynamic digital environment.”

The Project Team have:
• Redesigned 100 page components across 36 templates.
