Our campus is always growing, so we needed a campus map that could change as quickly as our campus. Our previous map options were a 3-D interactive map, which was fun and engaging, but impossible to update, or simply displaying a pdf of the print map. I opted to create a customized Google Map application, which is responsive and easy to use on all devices.

Create a single page app to make it easy for students to find tutoring sessions for their classes. The interface needed to clean, simple and mobile-friendly, and the calendar needed to be easy to update by someone of basic computer skills. The final product was built using WordPress, javascript, jQuery and Google’s Calendar API.

A single page app used to display information about important dates at Dixie State University. It’s been designed to be easily to search and sort through events. Interaction design and development by myself, and visual design by myself and fellow designer, David Hulet.

Website design for Dixie State University’s department of online education.

Like most university websites, the frontpage of dixie.edu is targeted towards prospective students. This leaves other user groups such as current students, faculty, staff and community members lost when trying to find content relevant to their needs. Redesigning our “portal” pages to be effective homepages or dashboards for each user group was a critical issue and top priority for our team that year.
