Latest Sites - GCC

Greenwich Community College came to Hotcourses looking for a redesign to their site a couple of years ago. They had a lot of content which needed to be put onto the web site so that their large pool of students could access it.

Being a community college they have many full time and part time students from all over the borough of Greenwich. We designed the site for them and did the initial build in 2003. They then required a more comprehensive site to be built due to the success of this one.

This involved redeveloping the site so that it embraced new methods in web design and development including switching the site to a XHTML and CSS driven site and getting rid of the table driven version initially built for them.

They also wanted to make their site as accessible as possible, so we provided the ability to have a text only version and increase/decrease the font size. Finally they wanted to be able to update the site themselves, so we built them a custom Content Management System (CMS). They now manage the site themselves and we act as support for them.
