Project Description
University College London Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering
UCL’s Department of Civil, Environmental & Geomatic Engineering currently holds the largest EPSRC research portfolio in civil engineering and ranked as the number one university in which to study Civil Engineering in the 2013 and 2014 Guardian League Tables.
Challenge
Intelogy was approached to design and build a responsive SharePoint site for UCL. The challenges for this project included accessible and responsive design for a wide variety of audience and devices, all on a manageable budget.
This site could potentially be very content-heavy, so one of the biggest challenges is user-engagement without content dilution.
There is a potential for multiple content authors, requiring oversight on authoring and publishing content on the site.
Solution
The design was approached from a commercial standpoint and designed with an expanded palette of UCL CEGE’s branding portfolio. We also pulled in design elements from the main UCL site to ensure a cohesive experience when users move from one site to the next.
We leaned on SharePoint’s term store, as well as standard out-of-box features to make management of the site quick and simple. Using client-side scripting allowed for dynamically pulled content to appear on the site in an on-demand fashion.
To ensure full transparency on content creation and maintenance, we implemented SharePoint’s publishing framework to allow for multi-level content authoring and publishing.
Benefits
Moving to SharePoint with an accessible and responsive design means UCL CEGE’s site is available to a much larger audience.
Engaging site that provides easy management of content within SharePoint’s multi-level publishing framework.
Well-documented open source technologies like Bootstrap, allow the development of new page layouts without additional documentation or training.
