about time we put some web stuff on here… we were asked to help the university of hull centre for coastal studies market their website beyond the usual university routes. part of the uniqueness of the centre is the studying environment where students and staff have a friendly and more personal approach to study - something that needed to be communicated better. there was also the recognition that ecology is a hot topic but attracting potential students to courses beyond the obvious subjects can be difficult.
so a unique domain name [http://www.coastal-studies.org] mirroring the university website enables them to steer more visitors from search engines. we also did some work on the webpages themselves, creating more user-friendly navigation and communicating the feel of the courses by taking a more visual approach using photos from field trips. keep your eyes peeled for a name change and new logo for the centre in the near future…
We used Adrian at Electricangel because he had some very simple but extremely effective ideas that really made the site work well - his approach is about design rather than showing how well he can use Flash gimmicks. We wanted something that was not to flashy and that gave as much information as the user wanted rather than overloading them. We had an excellent service and will continue to use Electric Angel.
