Client Case - Olivet University Online Portal

Project Requirements

Olivet University is a Christian University, there are a lot of Chinese and Korean students, and that they wanted to launch a new online portal to provide information about its online course offerings and to attract new students. They wanted a website firm that could work with another marketing company that was hired, providing features such as search‐engine friendly web‐pages. The new site would need to be developed from scratch, with wireframing, designs, and programming all provided by the website vendor.

PiedPush Proposed Solution

The new online portal would need to match the style of the pre‐existing Olivet website. But other than that, all features and design elements could be considered and approved by the Olivet staff. Piedpush provided the following services for this project:

• Conference meetings with OU staff to identify goals and potential features

• A list of sections was devised, including news, testimonials, and a glossary

• Wireframes were developed to encompass all dynamic areas, including aforementioned sections

• Composites were provided for approval by the OU decision‐makers

• Composites were cut into CSS‐based standards‐compliant HTML pages

• Backend CMS was provided so sections could be dynamically updated

• Search‐engine friendly URLs were provided throughout the OU website

The website was given a 3 month time to launch, and we were able to finish the website within that time. OU has been satisfied with the work, and we continue to work with this University.
