Learn by Doing done right.

Located in scenic San Luis Obispo, California, Cal Poly is renowned for its rigorous academics and distinctive “learn-by-doing” ethos. The university sought a modern, accessible, and scalable web presence to better serve prospective students, current student, faculty/staff, alumni and the community at large.

In 2020, Rolling Orange partnered with Cal Poly’s University Communications and Marketing team to launch a comprehensive web overhaul. The initial phase included key university sites such as the Gateway presence, News, Events, Admissions, Alumni, Giving, and Financial Aid. Our team provided a comprehensive suite of services, including site strategy, information architecture, a modular branded design system, and Drupal CMS implementation.

Following the successful launch, Rolling Orange continues to support Cal Poly with maintenance and strategic enhancements, recently completing a large-scale migration from Acquia to Pantheon.io. We are now working with the university to scale the design system to serve all schools, academic departments, and administrative units, ensuring a cohesive and adaptable digital experience for the entire institution.
