Case Study: University of Edinburgh improves prospective student experience with Manifesto

University of Edinburgh reduces content by 57% with Manifesto

The University of Edinburgh faced a challenge with its outdated Degree Finder platform, which was difficult for prospective students to use and led to high enquiry volumes. Behind the scenes, the technology was outdated and relied on manual processes, creating content duplication and inconsistency. The university partnered with Manifesto to modernize this mission-critical platform within its complex institutional environment.

Manifesto worked as a blended team with the university to rebuild the Degree Finder as a new, user-centered studying site on the Drupal-based EdWeb platform. The solution involved designing complex content models and custom workflows. The impact was significant, with the new site serving over 24 million pages in 11 months and a 57% reduction in content through rationalization. This streamlined operations for editors and helped students make more confident, informed decisions.
