Ten Colleges and Universities Recognized for Excellence in
Website Design and Management
TORONTO, Dec. 6, 2023
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Modern Campus, higher education's
learner-to-earner lifecycle platform leader, today recognized ten
colleges and universities for excellence in website design and
management.
I'm thrilled that we can recognize these
ten institutions who are delivering exceptional student experiences
while supporting their brand with their websites. These websites
demonstrate the institution's unparalleled commitment to quality,
creativity and student centricity.
These ten winners were chosen from around 4,500 higher education
websites powered by Modern Campus CMS, the only content management
system purpose-built for higher education. The winning websites
were recognized for their effectiveness at providing students with
informative content and engaging user experiences, driving
conversions, maintaining interest and improving enrollments.
Factors leading to these institutions being recognized include
engaging website design, easy navigation with clear calls to action
(CTAs), mobile friendliness of the website, integrated catalogs
with up-to-date career data, personalized experiences and brand
consistency across subdomains.
In alphabetical order, the Modern Campus Top Ten Higher
Education Websites of 2023 are:
- College of DuPage
- Duquesne University
- Ferris State University
- Florida A&M University
- Kennesaw State University
- Kentucky Community and
Technical College System (KCTCS)
- Pepperdine University
- Rock Valley College
- University of Montana
- University of Wyoming
Since the website is the front door to an institution, it plays
a crucial role in driving student enrollment by attracting,
engaging, and converting students. It is one of the first places
that prospective students visit and serves as an important
touchpoint in their enrollment decision.
Modern students expect higher ed websites to be optimized for
their phones, easy to navigate and personalized to their needs.
Websites that are difficult to navigate and lack personalized web
content frustrate them, found a recent study of high school
students conducted by Modern Campus and RNL.
"With decreasing enrollment rates mounting with increasing
student expectations, it's encouraging to see colleges and
universities are becoming creative with their websites and digital
properties," said Kimberly Prieto,
senior vice president for product at Modern Campus. "I'm thrilled
that we can recognize these ten institutions who are delivering
exceptional student experiences while supporting their brand with
their websites. These websites demonstrate the institution's
unparalleled commitment to quality, creativity and student
centricity."
Managing higher education websites has always been challenging
as they cater to a diverse audience—including current and
prospective students, faculty, staff and alumni—all of whom have
high expectations.
The Modern Campus CMS (formerly called Omni CMS) enables
colleges and universities to design and build websites that deliver
on the expectations of every visitor, ultimately helping to
increase enrollments. And with the Modern Campus Design Studio,
higher education institutions are empowered to take the design of
their digital properties to the next level.
"Ferris State University emphasizes
the extensive capabilities of Modern Campus' Website
Personalization tool, designed to meet the specific requirements of
our students and other target demographics. By streamlining the
usual complexity associated with higher education websites, we have
successfully created a straightforward and robust online
experience," said Eric Hazen,
Executive Director for Digital Experience and Marketing at
Ferris State University. "The
recognition as one of Modern Campus's Top Ten Higher Ed Websites in
2023 underscores our dedication to students and their needs,
showcasing a user-friendly website that effectively highlights the
opportunities offered by our university."
