The Challenge
Lilo was asked to develop a comprehensive school CMS for Bacon’s College Website, specific to their education needs. Usability was a key factor and the staff of Bacon’s College had to be given complete control over the entire CMS of their website.
| Sector: | High School/ Education |
| Services: | Web Design, Web Development, Bespoke CMS, Branding |
| Technologies: | ASP.Net with C#, SQL Server, HTML / CSS, Flash |
| Location: | United Kingdom |
Their artists (as well as graduates) are sent all over the globe to represent the company backstage at prestigious fashion shows and other events.
With an eye on wanting to reach a larger audience beyond their physical locations, this makeup school wished to implement an online version of their famous school.
This would enable users to learn the trade from over 50 of the world’s leading makeup artists, and give them the opportunity to become certified professional makeup artists.
They approached us to develop a bespoke platform to house their new online makeup school.
The Solution
| During the development of this education CMS website, Lilo benchmarked various content management systems, exploring the best possible way of presenting editable content online through a CMS. | Project Scope of Works
|
Our team of school website designers and developers also engaged with students and teachers, facilitating usability workshops to ensure that all user needs would be met.
The bespoke website we created allows students to effortlessly:
Each student has access to a course dashboard, where they can see all available courses and lessons. Each lesson contains a lesson plan, notes from the tutors, the ability to upload notes and lessons for evaluation – and each submission’s results. Each tutor also has their own personal profile with dashboard, where they can view all student information (their courses, lessons, status of lessons, all submitted materials etc.). A reporting system was set in place to mark student progress, and award passes / diplomas. |

The Result
We created a bespoke education CMS where the administrator is able to manage the content, assets, and templates of the entire website. The administrator can also define user groups and ascribe user permissions. The CMS contains a variety of pre-developed page templates, themes, and assets.
The Bacon’s College CMS exhibits high-end functionality and design in a usable and accessible format. Staff members can upload pages, content, images, news articles, calendars, and a variety of other assets and features. The Bacon’s College staff members can organise and manage their entire site structure through the “Manage my site” tool.
