We are very proud of our rich history and reputation, but are also keen to look to the future and pursue opportunities to develop, improve and to drive the profession forward, and we believe a fresh, new identity as the University College of Osteopathy will help us to do that. IE has led us expertly through a significant rebranding project, engaging with key stakeholders and ensuring buy-in at every stage. We’re delighted with our new visual identity and how IE has brought it to life online.

FAQs

What makes a good education website?

One that puts its audiences first. Prospective students, parents, current students, alumni, staff and partners all arrive with different questions, and a good website gets each of them to the right answer quickly. It also reflects your brand, works well on mobile, meets accessibility standards and is easy for your team to keep up to date.

Can you integrate our website with learning and student systems?

Yes. We connect websites to Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) such as Moodle and Blackbaud, as well as Customer Relationship Management systems (CRMs) and application systems. Joining these up gives students a seamless journey from finding a course to applying for it, and saves your team valuable time.

Does our website need to meet accessibility regulations?

Most likely, yes. Publicly funded schools, colleges and universities are generally covered by the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018, which require websites to meet recognised accessibility standards and publish an accessibility statement. We design and build to WCAG AA or AAA, so your site works for as many people as possible.

Can we build our website alongside a rebrand?

Yes. And often that’s the best approach. Brand and website projects share many steps, from research to stakeholder workshops, so combining them saves significant time and money. It also means your new identity launches on a purpose-built website rather than being squeezed into an old one.
