NCTN
Website Redesign for Non-Profit
Focusing on Sharing, Assisting, and Developing
Helping Adult Learners Succeed
NATIONAL COLLEGE TRANSITION NETWORK (NCTN) provides technical assistance and professional development services to community college, adult education, and workforce systems. NCTN designs accelerated career pathways, comprehensive student support services, and effective multi-stakeholder partnerships that help adults attain their educational and career goals and access greater economic opportunity.
The existing website was rich in content but not mobile-friendly. We built the new site as responsive using WordPress – a CMS platform that NCTN was most familiar with – and encouraged them to think differently about organizing the vast amount of content that the site would continue to contain. We changed the interface to be more user-friendly by creating content hierarchy based on their four core areas of service and introducing a more intuitive primary, secondary, and tertiary navigation system. We created a custom-illustrated icon set to align with these core areas of service as well as supporting practices and resources.
