Case Study: Bond University enhances Virtual Open Day engagement with Digital8's React microsite

Bond University launches Virtual Open Day microsite in 2 weeks with Digital8

Bond University engaged Digital8 to redesign the Virtual Open Day microsite, seeking a more sophisticated and user-friendly experience to encourage student engagement. The challenge was to build a dynamic site capable of handling live streaming, on-demand content segmented by interest area, a live chat function, and a picture-in-picture feature, all while adhering to the university's style guide and tight deadlines.

Digital8 developed the microsite using React, creating a custom front-end solution without a CMS to meet the short project lifespan. They successfully integrated complex features like dynamic scheduling and provided real-time support during the event. The project was an undeniable success, leading Bond University to re-engage Digital8 for subsequent years to update and manage the microsite for their annual Virtual Open Day.
