Crafting a Modern Online Presence for Singapore's Premier Arts College
#drupal, #digitalexperience, #quicktomarket
LASALLE College of the Arts is the highest-ranked specialist arts institution in Singapore and joint top in Southeast Asia for art and design (QS World University Rankings 2023).
The client needed to update their legacy sites, which had non-responsive, outdated aesthetics and organical content. The goal was to modernise the sites in terms of design and content management, upgrade the career services section, and enhance the student portfolio showcase.
Solution
We developed an entirely new, responsive outreach website that featured a sophisticated front end suitable for an art college. We restructured the large body of content on the website so it could be accessed more easily and better presented in the relevant contexts. We also created a new job portal and student portfolio showcase, which enabled LASALLE to build strong networks across the creative industries and connect employers with their students and graduates.
Highlights
- Migrated large volume of content from legacy CMS to Drupal, while preserving content relationships and semantic structure
- Migrated content ownership and security roles for students, faculty, industry partners, etc. across disparate systems
