Finalsite Launches New, Best-in-Class Website for Vanguard University
GLASTONBURY, Conn., Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Finalsite, the leader in web solutions for more than 2000 schools worldwide, was selected by Vanguard University in Santa Clara, California to design and launch their new web and software solution for undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.
Featuring a modern, responsive design, the project represented a partnership between the institution and Finalsite, with the resulting site providing clear paths to conversion for the school's varied visitors, from high schoolers to working professionals, to boost recruitment and retainment.
A revamped site hierarchy is rooted in focus groups with stakeholders, on-site visits with Finalsite's leading designers, and site sections for each audience that share relevant information and value. Current users benefit from the intuitive navigation that puts important information behind password-protected portals for parents, alumni, students, and faculty, but keeps important resources front and center.
Senior Director of Marketing and Communications at Vanguard University Linsey Carbone shared, "Thanks to Finalsite, we now have site architecture that actually enhances our value proposition, which is a big win for us as a Marketing Department."
The new site features Finalsite's core software modules, including the intuitive CMS Composer, eNotify for streamlined email communication, password-protected portals for parents, alumni, students, and faculty, modules to manage calendaring, multimedia, news, and more, as well as a single sign-on for users with the Canvas Learning Management System.
