BCU Inspired – Creative Showcase for Graduates launched by SMILE
In 2021, the showcase for Birmingham City University’s creative graduates included a new website designed, built and managed by SMILE.
UI Design
UI Design is a competitive advantage for universities and colleges when done well. We win awards for the websites we work on. It’s a match made in heaven.
You’re not competing with other universities for the attention of your audience. Turn your attention to out-of-sector brands with user interfaces that people enjoy using. These are your true competitors.
Don’t settle for sector-level mediocrity. We look outside the sector for ideas that have already demonstrated measurable success. Then we apply them to university and college websites. This low risk, high return strategy increases brand recognition and conversion rates.
SMILE can help you to improve your websites UI design and in turn, exceed your targets.
