The stylish new website features a modern, minimalistic design. The palette is simple, classic and confident, combining high contrasting blacks and whites utilising red as a vibrant accent colour highlighting key conversion points and other important elements.

Images have a muted, natural tone, complementing the overall professional and educational aesthetic and the design emphasises clarity – with a strong visual hierarchy, clean, organised layout and lovely attention to detail and subtleties within the user experience layer.

Core features include our integration with the colleges course management system. This integrates course information directly within the Umbraco CMS and website pages, allowing course content to be improved within the CMS and then filtered, searched and retrieved rapidly to improve the end user experience. Users also have the ability to shortlist courses they are interested in as they browse the site to help with their decision making ahead of ahead of applying for a course.

Creative Collaboration with NCL Students

The marketing team at NCL and Students were given a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience working closely with our experts throughout the project. From participating in brainstorming sessions to contributing towards key creative assets including new photography and the following brand film – students played an active role in shaping elements of the project. This collaboration not only enhanced the final product, but provided students with real-world insights and skills, helping to prepare them for future careers in digital and creative industries.

NCL believe in the power of education, believe in their students and believe in their region.

We believe the website is an excellent expression of that and a reflection of their personality, services and overall offering. Check out their new site nclanarkshire.ac.uk and find out more about our Umbraco Gold partner membership status.
