Case Study: MiraCosta College boosts website engagement with Modern Campus CMS

How a purpose-built CMS led the way in transformative implementation at MiraCosta College

MiraCosta College, a public community college in California, faced significant challenges with its outdated and discontinued Adobe Contribute CMS. The system was difficult to use, required on-site and device-specific sign-ins, and created major bottlenecks for updates, making it impossible for the web team to maintain brand consistency or respond to needs in a timely manner. Seeking a solution, they partnered with vendor Modern Campus to implement its purpose-built CMS for higher education.

By implementing Modern Campus CMS, the college empowered its content contributors with an intuitive, accessible system that allowed for immediate updates from any device. The solution provided the necessary tools for brand consistency, ease of use, and complex website integration. The results were transformative: in 14 months, MiraCosta saw a 68% increase in page views and a 63% increase in website users. The Modern Campus platform also proved to be pandemic-proof, becoming the institution's critical and trusted communications tool.
