Websites

Websites serve as key information hubs for prospective students, partners, donors, and reporters. A visually appealing, easy-to-navigate website creates a strong first impression and encourages further engagement with Ontario Tech University.

Content management system (CMS) and consistency

We use a content management system (CMS) to ensure that faculty and departmental websites share a consistent look and feel. Standard templates guarantee uniform layouts, fonts, and colour schemes across our sites.

Content and clarity

  • Keep content fresh, clear and concise.
  • Incorporate key messages and avoid outdated names or acronyms. 
  • Ensure essential information is easily accessible.

Visuals and branding

  • Use current logos and images.
  • Update outdated visuals by checking our photo collection in the Asset Library.
  • Utilize CMS components to enhance visual appeal.

User experience and optimization

  • Avoid text-heavy pages, especially for mobile users.
  • Use CMS analytics to refine content and boost engagement.
  • Ensure website URLs use the 'ontariotechu.ca' format.
