Getting the support and time to deliver major website changes can be a real challenge for institutional web teams. This session provides a case study of a three month site re-skin project carried out at the University of Greenwich. The objective was to visually overhaul the existing website and make it mobile-friendly, whilst also laying the technological and cultural foundations for a wider programme of change. The talk will look at the design approach taken, the technical and cultural challenges faced and argue that taking an incremental approach to site improvement can deliver real change for small teams at big institutions.
