Award Winning Website developed for Informatics Institute of Technology

The Informatics Institute of Technology was established in 1990 as the first private higher education institute in Sri Lanka to award reputed British degrees in the field of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Business. After a competitive selection process, they commissioned us to redesign and redevelop their website.

• Create a responsive design to reflect the Academy’s standing as a leading global centre of excellence.

• Design an information architecture to cater to the IIT’s core audiences; prospective students, students, and staff.

• Develop a site with a rich and flexible content authoring and management experience.

UI/UX Design,Development

We initiated the project with the wireframes and the overall informational structure for the website. The previous website didn’t have a proper landing page for their marketing purposes. Therefore, landing pages were created as it is very essential for promote and showcase the available courses. An interactive slider on the homepage was designed to better engage and make the website user access information instantly.

The primary focus when re-designing the website is to successfully fill the existing information gap. This was achieved by providing information on student life and activities carried out by the students at IIT to provide the essence of the campus life to the prospective students who will be visiting the website. To make their foreign prospects welcomes, we created a map including prominent places near IIT including student-friendly restaurants, hangout places. book shops etc. The website also can update from IIT’s staff without our help. If new places pop up, the map can be updated by the staff through the content management system as well.

One of the main concerns the institute has that the website users usually wander off and get lost in the content. We pulled together all of the academic programs into the homepage. This streamlining of the content kept prospective students in one digital experience (rather than wandering over a large site) — which improved the overall user experience.
