School of Architecture and Design Website

About the project

In this project, we were tasked with designing the official website for Universidad de los Andes's School of Architecture and Design. This large website had to effectively communicate a plethora of activities that occur at the School: education programs, research projects, publications, facilities, events, professors and more.

To keep each of these sections relevant, we designed different interactions for most of these, trying to communicate their specific content through relevant interactive experiences. To bring all of these parts together, we built a cohesive graphic design system based on the School's branding and used it across the whole site.

Once the design was finished and user testing had concluded, I developed the site using the WordPress CMS. The whole site was built in a custom WordPress Theme and Plugin, using PHP, CSS and Javascript. Although the site is done, new features are built as needs arise.

The project was developed by the School's communications team. The team members that worked on it were Catalina Villabona as project coordinator, Natalia Barragán Nieto as designer and me, also as designer and developer of the site.
