Overview
Aston University is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to redesign our website, using Drupal as our content management system (CMS), to enhance our digital presence and align with our 2030 strategy. The website serves as a critical touchpoint for diverse stakeholders, including prospective students and staff, researchers and funders, alumni, and industry partners, and will play a pivotal role in delivering on our vision.
By enhancing communication, supporting engagement, and showcasing our transformative impact, the website will be instrumental in fostering a positive influence on all the communities we serve. The website supports multiple strategic objectives, such as student and staff recruitment, research promotion, business engagement, and brand positioning, but currently lacks the flexibility, scalability, and personalisation needed to meet the university's evolving strategic needs and user expectations.
This redevelopment project aims to establish a modern, adaptable web presence that reflects Aston University's future-thinking approach and commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and an inclusive and engaging experience for all users. The goal is to create a platform that not only meets current demands but is also capable of evolving alongside the university's future needs, ensuring long-term sustainability and impact.
Additional details
The redesigned website should embody Aston University's commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and personalised user experiences. The site must be modern, flexible, and future-proof, supporting our goals for growth, innovation, and engagement.
It should reflect our bold, innovative strategy and our pillars: transformational, inclusive, and entrepreneurial. The new website will be a key tool in communicating our vision and values, supporting users, and ensuring they receive the information and services they need in a timely and effective manner.
It should also allow for easy integration with other systems and platforms to provide a seamless user experience across all touchpoints. Proposals will also include ongoing hosting and maintenance provision.
