New websites for Texas A&M University departments

Texas A&M University (TAMU), one of the largest and oldest universities in the US, approached our software development partner Inventive, a Texas-based custom software development company, with the task of switching its departments’ websites to a new website platform while redesigning the pages and updating the content.

Scope of work

Implementation on a new web platform, redesign of the pages, meticulous content placement and updates, ensuring the responsiveness of the site, all within a very limited timeframe

TAMU

The Process

First in line for renovation was TAMU’s psychiatry department site, and EGO’s part of the job included web development and quality assurance. The content creation on TAMU’s part took longer than expected, and some additional content had to be sent in on the fly, so we had to work fast to meet the deadlines. Also, we’ve gone an extra mile ensuring the site’s responsiveness (the ability to render well on devices of various screen sizes and resolutions). 

The client is happy with the results, and the websites for other TAMU departments are currently in the pipeline, including the ones for the Center of Innovation in Advanced Development and Manufacturing, Institute of Biosciences and Technology, A&M Rural and Community Health Institute, Clinical Operations and Integration of Dentistry Clinics.

What we’ve been able to do is to compare success rates before using our app and after. And we have seen that 90%+ actually passed the test with our app.
