- Digitizing a new brand platform
- Transformative digital design
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:
- Site Strategy & Information Architecture – Streamlining content for clarity and usability.
- Modular Design System – Ensuring consistency and accessibility, aligned with WCAG 2.1 standards.
- Drupal CMS Implementation – Enabling efficient content management across departments.
- Ongoing Support & Maintenance – Ensuring long-term sustainability and performance.
Following the successful launch, we continue to support Cal Poly with maintenance and strategic enhancements, recently completing a large-scale migration to a new Drupal infrastructure provider. 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.
