Gateshead College

Overview

AYO Media partnered with Gateshead College to deliver a unique and ground-breaking website, supporting the college’s expansion strategy. This provides a relevant and future-proof platform that assists with enrolment procedures, process automation and information sharing.

AYO Media worked closely with the college to build an intuitive, flexible website that incorporates fantastic usability and a comprehensive feature set – assets which place the college ahead of competing organisations in the region. Through our experience of planning and delivering projects of this scope, the college now has a solution it can use to scale its reach throughout the North East.

Web Development

www.gateshead.ac.uk

Our development team worked closely with Gateshead College to build a new website on top of the Umbraco Content Management System, providing powerful management tools to staff members across the organisation. There was also a strong focus on integrating various web services directly into the application. These allowed all the course data and application information to be managed through the internal platforms running throughout the college.

A number of other web services were integrated, including Flickr, YouTube and Woofoo. This helped consolidate the colleges various media channels into one location.
The final solution has been designed with maximum flexibility, allowing the college to extend and integrate with other technologies in the future.

AYO Media responded to our brief, tackling technical obstacles and making suggestions for improvements along the way, with great results! The new site has been live just over a month and the feedback we have received is excellent.
