Case Study: University of Edinburgh improves student website usability with Gecko Agency Ltd

University of Edinburgh improves student website for 9,000+ residents with Gecko Agency Ltd

The University of Edinburgh's Accommodation, Catering and Events (ACE) division required a new website to better serve its students. Their existing site had become overwhelmed with content and needed to be restructured to be a more effective resource. Gecko Agency was engaged to create a comprehensive and accessible site that would integrate with the wider university's digital assets.

Gecko Agency conducted a full content audit and restructured the site, ensuring it was WCAG 2.1 compliant for accessibility. They upgraded the Umbraco CMS, migrated all existing content, and used striking imagery to bring the student experience to life. The result is a sleek, easier-to-navigate website that is also simpler for the ACE team to manage internally. Gecko Agency delivered a site that successfully puts the needs of students at its heart.
