the challenge:

Amauta Tech in collaboration with THE_GROOP partnered with Art Center College of Design to redesign www.artcenter.edu, an awkward-to-navigate and difficult-to-update static HTML site. Project objectives were to identify and prioritize content, features and functionality, and then implement those on an accelerated timeline.

the solution:

Using the findings from technical requirements gathering, faculty and student interviews, and site comparisons, we established the final information architecture, visual and technology designs and rebuilt the site. Reusable server-side and end-user functionality, software installations and enhancements, and a management tool for internal and external teams were completed under time.

the result:

Within 3 months from the start of construction to the end, a scalable, functional and visually appealing site supplanted the previous clunky one. With features such as a navigation system that both simplified information discovery for the user and allowed for the virtual “plug and play” integration of new sections for the developer, the new site was the best of both worlds for all potential user groups.
