Traditionally, open days and prospectuses have helped in this area, but today, thanks to the internet, would-be students can find out a whole host of extra information – updated on a regular basis. By visiting college websites on their laptop, tablet or mobile device, budding learners can look into courses offered and get a glimpse of what student life is like in different places around the country. Moreover, beyond simply attracting new students, a university’s website is part of its very identity – and an online extension of its physical location. In view of all this, it’s such a pleasure to see how some schools have really gone the extra mile to offer an exciting online experience. The 30 institutions on this list have recognized the value of responsive, well-branded and multi-platform sites that feature great visuals and modern design elements – engaging prospective students and casual visitors alike. Champlain College An in-house team from Burlington, Vermont-based Champlain College teamed up with interactive agency BarkleyREI to reinvent the private institution’s website. After almost two years of development, the redesigned site went live in March 2013. What’s more, shortly afterwards, in August 2013, it was nominated as Best Homepage at the eduStyle Web Awards. The distinctive website uses strong visuals and a clean, well-balanced look to give users an insight into life at Champlain College while also communicating some of the school’s personality and educational approach. Delaware Valley College “Rad and responsive.” That’s how digital agency Happy Cog describes the new website of Delaware Valley College. Redesigned in late 2012, the site uses a high-impact gray, white and yellow color scheme and large visuals to make a solid first impression. Delaware Valley College realized that potential students might first check out an institution on a mobile device, and with this in mind it got in touch with Happy Cog for help. According to the digital agency, the college asked it to “deliver a responsive website that would resonate with their audiences and tell the story of the college’s close-knit campus and tactile academic experience.” 28. Rhode Island School of Design Established in 1877, the Rhode Island School of Design is a fine arts and design college based in Providence, RI. Likely hoping to inspire its next generation of artists and designers, the school uses its online home to showcase artwork from its current students and alumni. The school’s new-look site was redesigned in house in 2011 and was a Webby Award honoree in the School/University category in 2012. Stonehill College Stonehill College – a Roman Catholic liberal arts school based in Easton, Massachusetts – launched its charmingly redesigned website in May 2013. The launch of the new-look online space was overseen by Stonehill’s marketing department, who worked with Baltimore-based digital agency Fastspot to revamp the site yet retain the more familiar essence of the university. The homepage uses strong visuals and a modern scroll-down approach to present content in a fun, informative and eye-pleasing manner. Maryland Institute College of Art The Maryland Institute College of Art is one of the world’s most highly rated design colleges, so when it came to the redesign of its website, a confident approach and excellent implementation were needed. With this in mind, in 2009 the college worked with digital agency Happy Cog to give the site a makeover. ![]() ![]() “An art school that shows art on its website. Imagine that!” wrote former Happy Cog interactive director Dan Mall. For anyone who visits the website, selecting one of the student artworks visible in the slideshow at the top of the homepage switches the site’s color theme, and according to Mall, from a technical point of view this was surprisingly challenging. University of Notre Dame Developed by an in-house team and launched in April 2012, the University of Notre Dame’s responsive new homepage certainly pushes boundaries. ![]()
