The time has finally come! We are getting our first look at website design concepts from Mighty.
Keeping in mind that we seek to offer an excellent, interactive web experience for our identified audiences (of which prospective and current students are our most extensive visitors), we chose to explore web designs at three levels: conservative, modern, and aggressive. We requested these concepts with these descriptors:
Conservative: doesn’t divert greatly from 2011 design but improves upon it in notable areas, feels more like a typical college web site.
Modern: continues to reflect higher education design, but diverts more greatly from 2011 concepts.
Aggressive: pushes the boundaries of conventional higher education design, differentiates the hope.edu experience and stands out among college designs and within the greater web design community.
We are so excited with the concepts and we are working diligently to gain additional feedback and choose which design direction we are ready to head in.
We will be presenting the designs to a group of students this week, and we would love to have any and all faculty and staff join us at the below times to see and update on the design progress:
- Faculty: Tuesday, April 8th at 11am, Haworth Center Transmatic Gentex Room
- Staff: Tuesday, April15th at 10am, Graves Hall Winants Auditorium
We’re excited to show off the design concepts – and this major step puts us that much closer to the larger goal of launching a brand new hope.edu!
