KARLSTAD UNIVERSITY
YOU’VE GOT THE BRAINS, WE’VE GOT THE LOOKS
As is the case for most universities, Karlstad uni’s website is their most important communication channel. The need for a superior user experience (UX) is paramount and a large part of that is a user-friendly interface coupled with an attractive design — that’s where we come in.
MADE FOR THE MOST DEMANDING AUDIENCE
Karlstad University’s website reaches out not only externally to prospective student and interest groups but also serves as an internal platform for gathering operations-critical systems and services. The need for the website to be both modern, flexible and intuitive is high, not only for these operative reasons but also because — ultimately — a university is as challenged by competitors as any commercial enterprise. Add to the mix a fiercely demanding, choosy target audience (students) and we were clear: the website needed to feel new, fresh and above all interesting; characteristics teased out by the use of movement (parallaxes, filmed media, animated transitions, etc.), original typefaces and clean, contemporary, flat graphics.
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE
The end result is an up-to-the-minute site for an educational institution in 2017 and beyond: modern in its expression and inviting in its interface, integrating social media, internal functionality and easy maneuverability whether on an over-arching or detailed level. Naturally the site works beautifully across all platforms, mobile and stationery, with a heightened user experience and smoother navigation through what is a very rich site.
