Higher Ed Rebrand or Revamp: Pushing the Envelope Within Your Design System

While redesigning a website from scratch offers a lot of advantages and flexibility, it isn’t always an option. We often have to work within the constraints of an existing website and an existing brand.

You might be waiting for budget to do a redesign or approval to update the brand, but want to start making improvements today.

In this session, you’ll learn how to best leverage your existing Drupal website, to iteratively improve the experience and content strategy. Set your website up for success despite the constraints and guidelines in place.
