Case Study: University of Denver launches a responsive presidential debate website with OmniUpdate

University of Denver Launches a "Redaptive" Website for the Presidential Debate

The University of Denver needed to launch a dedicated website for the 2012 presidential debate in less than 10 weeks, with a hard deadline and a wide range of devices to support. To meet the challenge, the university worked with OmniUpdate and its OU Campus CMS to plan a new “redaptive” approach that combined responsive and adaptive design for the event site.

OmniUpdate helped DU build and publish a single-page-markup site that could serve multiple device formats and orientations within OU Campus, simplifying management while improving the user experience. The result was a fast-loading, mobile-friendly debate site launched on time, with the team reporting it took 65.87% more work than expected but delivered strong performance and a foundation for future redaptive work on the university’s main site.
