Bringing clarity, autonomy, and impact together: rethinking the web experience in service of knowledge.
Designing a modern, inclusive educational platform
The challenge
Create a coherent, scalable web system that simplifies the user experience while giving the Cégep full autonomy over content management.
- Consolidate multiple websites into a single WordPress multisite platform
- Rethink the information architecture to clarify navigation
- Make academic programs easier to discover
- Deliver a high-performing, accessible mobile experience for all users
- Simplify content and form management in compliance with Law 25
Our approach
A redesign built to last.
We reimagined the Cégep de Thetford website around a modular design system that combines flexibility, clarity, and performance. Each section was rebuilt to better guide visitors, students, parents, faculty, and partners alike, while equipping internal teams with the tools needed to manage content autonomously.
The multisite architecture allows each entity (Cégep, CEC de Lotbinière, Les Filons) to exist independently, while sharing the same technological foundation and core components.
Autonomy and efficiency
A unified dashboard to manage everything with ease
Thanks to a custom-built administration panel, the Cégep teams can manage content like programs, news, events, and forms across multiple websites from a single interface.
- Custom-developed modules make it possible to manage academic programs, the staff directory, and templates without technical intervention, while maintaining high performance.
- Visual editing tools simplify content updates, and granular permissions ensure secure, shared management across departments.
Technical note
Powered by WordPress Multisite, the platform centralizes the management of multiple environments within a single interface.
A user-centred experience
Clear, modular tools built to last
Every feature was designed to improve discoverability, performance, and ease of use for both visitors and administrators.
