ACADEMIA
Academia has different needs in terms of the web presence.
At the individual level, a faculty or student website is the key tool for sharing information about the upcoming, existing, and/or historical work,
highlighting
personal qualities, and attracting/communicating with the target audience. A professional website goes well beyond directory information which merely includes e-mail, phone number, and office location. No matter how successful your work is, if you are not sharing it with your target audience, it is invisible.
At the institutional level, a school website is a one-stop communication, information, and recruitment center for students, parents, faculty, researchers, staff, administrators, community, and other interested parties.
Most schools have many pages on their websites. Some schools have various sub-sites linked to each other. These websites should be informative, consistent, and up-to-date.
Also, many existing academic websites are maintained with a pool of users who may or may not have similar/adequate web design/programming experience.
Therefore, a reliable and easy-to-understand content management system is required for academic websites for timely updates.
On the other hand, academic websites are an important tool for communicating the visual identity which includes logo, layout, specific colors, images, and the academic identity which includes
mission, values, culture, quality, and education standards.
FireFrog Creative offers clean, visually rich, and practical website solutions to academic individuals and institutions.
