Website Workshops

Community College websites are critical in the decision-making process of prospective students. Whether communicating what the college has to offer, helping students locate and access critical information, or building excitement and energy around enrollment, many colleges struggle with designing and maintaining websites that are truly student-centered.

We designed these workshops for community colleges who want to understand better how to improve the content and design of their college’s website in support of strategic goals. They’re open to all community colleges, not just ones that applied for the million dollar challenge.
