II.2.4) Description of the procurement
We are looking to create our new website in line with our current branding, providing a seamless online/offline experience. The existing site does not align with the brand in its use of font, colour and style. The brand is moving forward in ways that visually represent the future that we are aiming toward — inventive use of grids, imagery, text. As the university progresses toward its Vision 2028, we need a site that will push at the boundaries of what a university website is and can be. Taking cues not from other HE sites, but from those that influence and engage our target audiences.
