University Website Design in Derby
University websites for Derby institutions, where the real problem is not design but governance. Hundreds of editors across departments, research centres and services publish into one estate, and the course information among it carries consumer law obligations that a page left unrevised for two years quietly breaches.
Why this comes up
The problem
Every department maintains its own pages, course details contradict the prospectus, and nobody can say who owns any given URL.
What you get
What we deliver
- Course information held once and published everywhere it appears
- Material changes to courses handled through a defined process, as consumer law expects
- Editorial ownership assigned per section, with review dates that are enforced
- Public sector accessibility duties met, including a compliant accessibility statement
- International applicant journeys built properly rather than as a translated afterthought
- The estate audited for orphaned and outdated pages, which accumulate at scale here

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

University Website Design in Derby — common questions
- Why does course information carry legal weight?
- Because applicants are consumers making a substantial financial commitment on the strength of what you publish. Guidance for higher education providers is explicit that material information must be accurate and timely, and that changes after an offer are constrained — the website is the primary record of what was promised.
- How is devolved publishing controlled?
- Not by taking editing away, which fails, but by separating structured data from free text. Where fees, durations, entry requirements and modules come from a single system, departments can write about their subject without being able to contradict the facts.
- What do the accessibility rules require?
- Public sector bodies must meet the accessibility standard and publish a statement describing compliance, what is not accessible and why, in the prescribed form. Universities are large enough that this needs an ongoing process rather than a one-off remediation project.
- What should be done about old pages?
- Find them and decide deliberately. A university estate accumulates conference microsites, retired course pages and staff profiles for people who left a decade ago, all of which still rank and still get read — so an inventory with an owner and a review date for each is the only durable answer.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
