Solihull College - Introduction
A joint venture with 'The Lines Group' in Gloucester, the Solihull College sites was built to set the College ahead of its competitors both in design and functionality.
The college wanted a site which would enable them to manage all the content themselves, would score well on the search engines and most importantly would attract a continuous stream of Students to the College.
Our Role was to build the site from the visuals provided by 'The Lines Group' onto a Content Management System which would enable the College to fulfil its objectives. We continue to provide support when required however, 99% of the content is managed by the College.
