Before the Redesign

Prior to the initiative, homepages varied course to course, making orientation difficult and pushing essential details out of view.

Pain Point

Inconsistent Layout

Homepage structures differed from course to course, offering students no reliable orientation point across the catalog.

Pain Point

Buried Information

Instructor contact details and synchronous meeting times were difficult to locate, often hidden in syllabi or announcements.
