Ignite
Art University
A prospectus site for an art school, where the course finder has to work for a 17-year-old and their parents at the same time.

What the site had to actually do.
University sites serve 2 readers with opposite needs. The applicant wants to know whether they will belong there. The parent wants outcomes, fees and safety. Most institutions pick one and lose the other.
On top of that, an art school has to look like somewhere art gets made. A conservative template would undercut the entire proposition.
4 decisions about how people pick a degree.
Course finder
Filter by discipline and level
10 degrees across 6 disciplines, filtered live, with a hover detail card that answers the next question without a page load.
Student work
The gallery leads, not the copy
Work made this term, hung at angles that straighten on hover. The building is the argument.
2 audiences
Studio culture and outcomes, both first-class
Testimonials and campus life for the applicant. Graduate outcomes, staff ratios and parent notes for the person paying.
Exchange
Erasmus+ given its own section
38 partner schools, grant figures and the application timeline, because study abroad is often the deciding factor.
What shipped, and what it cannot settle.
16 sections including a 3-slide hero, a filtered course finder, a student work gallery, a horizontal alumni rail and a full admissions path, built on a token system with the CSS split into tokens, components and page layers. What the build cannot settle is which of the 2 readers arrives first. A 17-year-old and a parent open the same homepage, and whether the student work or the graduate outcomes get read first is their call. The site has to hold either way.
