The current site appeared very dark in color and lacked a welcoming color harmony throughout the site. They wanted to keep all of the images and content, however they were looking to reorganize the information.

Original site

Redesigned site

The site is still in development and hasn’t launched, however you can see the purple hue was lightened and a monotone color scheme was established. The home page will have rotating images as an initial large photo present was important to keep for them. The content is now being reorganized to display current information and they are looking to add interactive elements such as a calendar, rss feed, and other Web 2.0 features.

The Original Design

  • The design did not reflect Northwestern University branding.
  • The site was in table format and not W3C compliant.
  • Content overload and poor use of graphics throughout the site. Users were unable to identify themselves on the site, and navigate to information relevant to them.
  • Site hadn’t been updated in over 5 years.
  • The site is a service-driven site, however services and navigation weren’t clearly organized.

The Redesign & Site Improvements

  • Branding:  the site reflects Northwestern University colors and images.
  • W3C Compliance:  Table design was removed, and CSS styles were applied.
  • Unified Design:  Departments within the organization were anxious to receive training and migrate content to the new site.
  • Social Media:  The site now has RSS feeds, Blog capabilities, a YouTube campaign video, podcasts, webinars and more.
  • Content Reviewed:  Organized home page, deleted legacy documentation and content.
  • Added “Mobility” Section
  • Improved navigation:  There’s a consistent header and footer throughout the site.
