University College of Syracuse University

University College of Syracuse University

University College is the part-time college for Syracuse University. As the lead web designer, I was tasked with strategizing, designing & developing the overall website, taking into account our core audience, 25-55 non-college educated individuals looking to pursue a degree at Syracuse University.

In keeping with making the site simple and easy to use, but in depth to cover all of the services University College offered, I devised an overall strategy of keeping the site directed mainly towards the prospective student. Sections on the homepage feature stories, messaging about degree completion, and callouts to direct student to apply or to inquire more about University College and Syracuse University. Tasks were to create the overall design of the interface, development within WordPress and planning and structuring how content was to be presented within the site, working with and directing copywriting staff to create new & revise content sections of the site.
