The issue wasn’t the amount of information.

It was how it was organized.

The site had to support multiple user types — applicants, students, and staff — across different programs, each with its own requirements:

• study plans
• enrollment processes
• academic calendars
• institutional services

All of it existed, but without a clear hierarchy.

Finding information required too much effort, especially for users who needed quick answers.

The first step was understanding what was actually there.

Before designing anything, the entire site was reviewed:

• outdated content
• duplicated pages
• inconsistencies between sections

From there, a new structure was defined based on two dimensions:

• user type (who is navigating)
• academic structure (how the institution is organized)

This allowed the same content to be accessed in different ways, without duplicating pages.

The interface was approached as a system, not a collection of pages.

Instead of relying on visual elements to organize content, the focus was on hierarchy:

• breaking long sections into smaller blocks
• grouping related information
• using patterns that repeat across the site

Some key components include:

• cards for grouped content
• lists for structured information
• tabs for parallel content (programs)

These patterns make dense information easier to scan without removing content.

The site was built on WordPress, allowing the internal team to manage content independently.

The focus was on:

• reusable components aligned with the structure
• templates that support different types of content
• keeping layout consistency even as content changes

This reduces long-term dependency on developers.

The result is a platform that feels more predictable.

Users can:

• find information faster
• navigate without guessing where things are
• move between sections without losing context

The system handles large amounts of content without becoming overwhelming.

The project also reinforced a key principle: when content grows in complexity, structure matters more than visual surface.
