The development and deployment of solid admissions portals has been a core part of our business since the late 90's. As the admissions web marketplace has developed, we have created two key elements that combine to make an exciting and effective web presence for colleges and universities. The core building block of this approach is the admissions portal -- a flexible and scalable rapid-deployment framework for getting an admissions portal up and running under very tight time frames.

A basic admissions web site contains the same families of information from institution to institution. Thus, the laborious process of paying a design house to go through a lengthy "needs assessment" for the admissions office is money better spent on the actual recruiting mission of the university. The information architecture of any admissions web site contains a set of foundational blocks of information as well as certain key forms. Our admissions portal tool creates this central architecture and associated forms in days rather than months -- and then lets you get down to the business of gathering the appropriate content.

Once the framework is in place, you can go live with simple, modified header and footer graphics or we can develop a completely custom interface and other pieces of relevant and powerful online content.
