for Jesus College, Cambridge
Jesus College, Cambridge is one of the oldest of the Cambridge University colleges.
The website badly needed a design update, partly as a general refresh, partly to bring it inline with overall College branding, and partly to place it onto a platform that saved the in-house IT team time on handling website updates.
The website carried a huge amount of information
and as the old site had grown, it had become a little structurally ragged. A key part of the task was to find a way to coherently map the site, keeping in mind the needs of a large number of internal stakeholders and the various audience bases (predominantly prospective students, alumni, and those interested in the Chapel and Choir).
Jesus College Conferences & Events had a separate identity and website
to promote hiring the grounds and facilities of the College for private or commercial use. The original site was a little beige, and we wanted to lift it to make it feel aspirational and inspirational, particularly as a wedding location.
Features included venues-at-a-glance comparisons, an interactive map of the grounds, associated venues and easy-to-skim suitability. There was also a gallery, menus and additional resources, plus an integrated external booking system.
