RMIT University is refreshing, mobile and open...

I rarely ever talk about my work here on this site, but we've undertaken some major work recently that I think is worth sharing.

It's been three years since we took a redesign at RMIT, and in this case, we've only taken a refresh rather than a full redesign so far. Simply put, most web sites these days are incredibly hard work to change. As businesses realise the importance of digital media, every step becomes more careful, more planned, more throrough and more and more stakeholders are involved. 

Talking with colleagues in the education and other sectors at several social media conferences recently, it's became clear that finally (finally!) over the last few years business have realised how crictical your brand and digital presence is across your site, partners sites, social and mobile. 

So with that in mind it was rewarding we could finaly make some of those changes recently. And with a successful site refresh done in recent weeks, a very successful mobile site for our Open Day today (see below), and an amazingly successful Open Day offline and online campiagn I'm very proud of all of the work we have done in the organisation. Only possible thanks to some very hard work, lots of debate and a large amount of people who have worked with us on all these projects and helped make them a reality. 

Now the really hard work begins : )
