The Physical Plant Department at Cleveland State University engaged us to help them update a web presence based on feedback from an internal Univerity audit. The web site needed to meet several requirements as specified both by the Physical Plant staff and the University web guidelines:

• Complying with government accessibility standards (Section 508)
• Improving customer service to the University community by making commonly-used forms and other information available on the site
• Making critical information (emergency phone numbers, etc.) readily available to the University community
• Reinforcing the Department's positive image on campus via a more robust and attractive site
• Meeting interal University audit concerns

Through close collaboration with the Physical Plant staff, we were able to implement a site that met the needs of both the Physical Plant Department and the CSU community.

The Office of the University Architect (OUA) at Cleveland State University engaged us to help them create a web presence from scratch. The web site needed to meet all of the same requirements as the Physical Plant site, with a couple of additional requirements:

• Several construction-related forms needed to be available to both the University community and to OUA partners in several formats.
• Due to frequent changes to OUA projects, the site would need to be easily and quickly updated by OUA staff.

Through close collaboration with the OUA staff, we developed a site design that both met the demanding aesthetic needs of the Department and shared up-to-date project information with the University community. Further, we developed a system that allowed OUA staff members to quickly and easily create new and updated web pages as needed, allowing them to share information with the University community as it became available.
