What the site had to actually do.
University sites serve two 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.
Four decisions that shaped it.
What shipped, and why it works.
Sixteen sections including a three-slide hero, a filtered course finder, a student work gallery, a horizontal alumni rail and a full admissions path. Built on a proper token system, with the CSS split into tokens, components and page layers.
