New College of the Humanities

Working with the lovely and talented bunch over at Moon, in Cardiff Bay, I produced the web presence for the recently launched New College of Humanities (NCH) – the AC Grayling led University venture.

Something of a large-scale beast, the build required a content management system overhaul delivered on Drupal’s open source CMS framework, deploying a responsive design that allows prospective students, parents and media to browse and find relevant information.

I worked with Moon on the workshopping through to sketching and then into the wire framing and function and technical documentation.

Once completed, my main role was to ensure a smooth and purring delivery of production, liaising between creative and engineering teams alike, and ensuring a close contact with the client.

Built with Drupal 7’s CMS framework, the admin tools allow the NCH marketing team to maintain all site elements, while the responsive designs provide for desktop, tablet and mobile browsing.

My involvement and responsibilities covered the following areas:

• Workshopping
• Information Architecture
• Functional Specification
• Annotated wireframes
• Drupal administration
• Image and copy editing
• Project Management
