The university is seeking a vendor to perform a comprehensive overhaul and redesign of its website, with the goal of attracting more undergraduate, graduate, and transfer students. The project includes refreshing key templates such as the homepage and school landing pages to present a modern, sophisticated, and user-friendly experience while maintaining the current branding and design integrity.

The refreshed homepage will feature a new hero component consisting of a full-width, auto-play video, and the redesign will incorporate enhanced navigation through a new child page grid component. The scope also includes reimagining elements such as text scale, whitespace, video, and images to optimize user engagement. Additional requirements involve integrating Clive personalization opportunities, streamlining light cast widget integration, providing recommendations for AI and agentic search optimization, auditing image metadata, and exploring updates to the faculty directory.

Vendors are expected to provide solutions that improve the public’s experience and engagement with the university website while maintaining cohesive branding across updated design elements.
