Colleges

Larger, multi-department institutions need structured platforms that span admissions, academics and administration without becoming unmanageable.

Overview

Colleges run into a scaling problem schools don't: dozens of departments, each wanting control over their own section of the site, with an admissions team that needs the whole thing to still read as one coherent institution. Left unmanaged, that produces a site where every department page looks like a different website. We build the structure that lets departments self-manage their content within a system that still holds together.

Who we work with

  • Colleges with multiple departments or schools each needing their own content ownership
  • Institutions replacing a legacy CMS that has become difficult to maintain or extend
  • Admissions offices that need enrollment funnels tracked separately from general information pages

What we typically build

  • Multi-department platforms with delegated, permissioned content editing
  • Admissions-focused information architecture distinct from academic/departmental content
  • Dashboards for enrollment or administrative reporting
  • Migration paths off legacy or unsupported CMS platforms

What differs here

  • Multiple departments, each needing delegated editing control
  • Enrollment and admissions-oriented information architecture
  • Systems built to outlast staff turnover

Our approach

Governance is the real design problem at this scale — who can edit what, and how the admissions narrative stays consistent even when twelve departments are publishing independently. We solve that with structure and permissions, not by asking departments to coordinate manually.

Relevant solutions

Common questions

Before you reach out.

Yes — this is exactly the governance problem we design for: permissioned editing per department within one consistent structure and design system.

Yes, migration off a legacy platform is a common starting point. We audit what exists, decide what's worth carrying over, and rebuild the rest properly.

Where feasible — this is scoped case by case since SIS platforms vary widely in what they expose. We assess it during discovery.
