Case Study: Edinburgh College of Art achieves a standout digital experience with Hookson

Edinburgh College of Art showcases 2,500+ exhibits online with Hookson

Edinburgh College of Art, a prestigious institution, faced the challenge of creating a new main website to position itself as a highly creative school and attract quality applicants. They also needed an exclusive online presence for their 2020 Degree Show to overcome the limitations imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. They enlisted the design services of Hookson to achieve these goals.

Hookson designed a distinct main website built on Drupal, combining visual assets, student stories, and key information with smooth UX features like a prominent course search and a mega-menu. For the 2020 Degree Show, they implemented new innovations like animating sliders, a dedicated news and video section, and an elegant infinite scroll to showcase over 2,500 student exhibits exclusively online. The solution was so successful that Hookson was subsequently asked to design sites for the college's celebrated annual degree shows, effectively promoting the students and the institution's global reputation.
