Public website and admin CMS for a women's graduate college established 1973, with 11 BS programs across disciplines.
The college had a long history (since 1973) but no online presence that reflected it. Prospective students and parents had no way to see academic programs, campus life, or student outcomes before visiting in person. Recruitment and outreach depended entirely on offline channels.
Sections from the live site — hero, primary surfaces, and the close.
What I owned
Custom Laravel CMS sharing the same architecture pattern as the male graduate college sister site, customized for the women's-college content needs: hostel and transport information, women-focused career services, and student success stories. Public site renders server-side with a slow-network-tolerant build.
Constraints
Reflect the institution's 50+ year history credibly
Surface campus life, hostel, and transport for distance students
Showcase student success stories without staged content
Mobile-first for student/parent research devices
Process
01
Brand discovery
Voice and visual decisions grounded in the college's history and tone.
Custom Laravel CMS with content types specific to women's-college operations.
04
Launch + handoff
Editor docs, training, and 30-day support window.
Approach
Reused the architecture pattern from the male graduate college site to keep maintenance footprint small for the same admin team supporting both. Customized the content model for women's-college-specific needs (hostel, transport for distance students, sports facilities) without forking the codebase.
