County College of Morris (CCM) has embarked on a transformative journey to revolutionize its online presence, and we at eDesign are thrilled to unveil the culmination of our collaborative efforts – the all-new CCM website.
The website was celebrated with a pre-launch party, hors d’oeuvres, swag gifts, and a Titan-led conga line dance, streamed live on YouTube. CCM's President, Dr. Antony J. Iacono, summarized our partnership with the highest praise a web agency could hope for in his opening remarks. “After a year and a half of interviews, input, ideation, and collaboration dedicated to creating this new site, we now have a fully redesigned, brand-new site that is easy to navigate with working search features. Things are intuitive, and it’s a breeze to get around it, and it looks absolutely amazing, page after page after page,” said Dr. Iacono.
Driven by the desire to enhance the online experience for its diverse community, CCM recognized the urgent need for a digital transformation. Their previous website struggled to keep pace with modern marketing and left users grappling with frustration as they navigated its labyrinth in search of information.
Enterprises of this magnitude are seldom devoid of challenges, and CCM’s website redesign was no exception. Our team uncovered valuable insights through in-depth interviews and strategized the path forward. Clarity, modernization, and a resolute focus on user-centric design emerged as the cornerstones of our mission.
Together with CCM, we embarked on a journey of collaboration and innovation. Our approach was multifaceted, addressing not only the visual aesthetics but also the structural integrity of the website.
