Commonwealth U Website Earns National Recognition
University-wide
Posted
The Commonwealth University Strategic Communications and Marketing Department was honored with a Bronze Award in the Institutional Website category at the 12th Annual Education Digital Marketing Awards. This recognition highlights the design and functionality of the new commonwealthu.edu website, launched in June 2024.
Through a panel of industry specialists from across the nation, the Education Digital Marketing Awards recognize the best educational websites, digital content, electronic communications, mobile media, and social media.
Developed in partnership with OHO Interactive, the Commonwealth U website unifies three legacy university websites and a microsite into a single, cohesive platform. The website reflects the unique history, identity, and traditions of CU’s four campuses while delivering a streamlined user experience. Features such as campus-specific filters for academic programs, news, events, and profiles allow students, employees, alumni, and the broader community to tailor their web experience to their respective needs.
The 18-month project involved a comprehensive overhaul of content across nearly every webpage to align with the integrated university. Led by the CU Web Team, the initiative relied on the collaboration of university offices, departments, and a dedicated team of student, employee, and freelance content creators.
OHO Interactive played a critical role as CU’s strategic partner, overseeing the audit of legacy websites, development of the site’s information architecture and visual design, quality assurance, testing, and final launch.
