Case Study: Contra Costa College achieves a more inclusive, award-winning website with Rootid

Contra Costa College wins award-winning website redesign with Rootid and 99% zero-debt grads

Contra Costa College, a community college in the San Francisco Bay Area, needed to redesign its website to better reflect and serve its diverse community. The college partnered with Rootid to address challenges in content, user experience, and visual design to create a more inclusive and effective online presence.

Rootid conducted extensive user research and a website audit to inform their strategy. They then designed and developed a new site with a community-centered aesthetic, accessible language, and an improved online catalog. The solution resulted in a more engaging website, which won a 2025 Communicator Award of Distinction and a 2025 NCMPR District 6 Bronze Medallion Award.
