INSIDE GGC

After years of planning, collaboration and research, Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) is officially in the home stretch of a full-scale website redesign, an exciting milestone that reflects our commitment to innovation, accessibility and user-centered design.

The journey began in 2022 with an upgrade to a new content management system (CMS), laying a strong technical foundation. In August 2023, a cross-functional Request for Proposal (RFP) Committee was formed with members from Communications and Information Technology (IT). Their mission was to reimagine GGC’s digital first impression.

Over the following months, the committee researched leading university websites, gathered best practices and crafted a comprehensive RFP. By February 2024, after reviewing anonymized vendor proposals, the team selected a partner, and the real work began.

Putting people first

In partnership with BWF, the team led four focus groups in early 2024, gathering candid feedback from students, faculty and staff. These insights were crucial in shaping the redesign strategy and were shared with Evolving Web (EW), the creative agency awarded the contract in May 2024.

Since then, EW has led collaborative discovery sessions and user journey workshops, helping us understand how people navigate the site and what they need most. From October through January, GGC teams worked closely with EW to finalize the visual direction, technical framework and wireframe designs.

What’s next?

We are now in the midst of content migration and demo testing, which will continue through June 2025. Afterward, the site will undergo User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to ensure everything is working as intended.

And then, the big moment. In July 2025, we will officially launch the redesigned GGC website.

This is not just a facelift. It is a thoughtful reimagining of how we communicate with prospective students, families, faculty and the broader community. The new site will be more intuitive, accessible, mobile-friendly and reflective of GGC’s vibrant, forward-thinking spirit.
