This Document includes these deliverables: -Client survey Santa Monica College -Competitive analysis -Personas – your target audience -Communication brief agreement, schedule and estimate of this project -Site Maps and Wireframes 4/24/2014 Client Survery: Q&A SANTA MONICA COLLEGE Interviewed by Mandeep Bhasin General Information: 1) What is the name of your company and your cur- rent (or intended) URL? My Company is called Santa Monica College, my URL is smc.edu. 2) Who are the primary contacts for your organization? For design issues you must reach the Graphic/Web Design staff at the AET campus or Airport Campus, 310-8092344, any of the faculty members can sign off on any ideas or changes. 3. What is your intended launch date for the new site? Are there any outside considerations that might affect the schedule? It should be done and released by next summer! There are enrollment dates and new semesters that will begin and that can hold up the process, i.e. finals, projects and seminars. Also, major holidays will impact as well! 4. Do you have a specific budget range already established for this project? Can this project be divided into phases to accommodate budget and timing constraints? Our budget is reasonable, this is a school website and due to budget cuts we only have so much for the website, so if it has to be done in two phases that is acceptable. Bottom line is we do have a budget and hope to work within that budget. Current Site: 1. Do you feel your current site promotes a favorable experience? Why or why not? We feel the current website favors one or two different target audiences, such as students and parents but not all, for that reason, we want to re-design and expand our vision. It has the necessary back end programming for students to sign up for classes and organize their admission/transcripts and parents can access so much to understand the depth of our school! 2. What specific areas of your current site do you feel are successful? Why are they successful? The event section of our website with the calendar is our best part of the website. E companion and google email integrated for students to communicate with their professors is key and a great asset to our current website and corsair connect is successful to because all these components are organized and work well for students. 3. What shortcomings exist with the current site, and what three things would you change on the site today if you could? The overall look of the site can be much better! The user friendly aspect to the site can be better such as accessing the right pages. Teachers have a hard time accessing what they need to so that can be much better. 4. Have you conducted usability tests or gathered visitor feedback for your current site? If so, how long ago? Please include any reports or findings. Yes we have done tests from teachers and students over the last year or two. Some were okay, many complained about their overall experience. 5. How important is it to maintain your current look and feel, logo, and branding? Extremely important to maintain the logo and colors! They have made us stick out from other local colleges. Our branding is part of our success, so keeping that is important, re designing our website does not change that. Reasons for Redesigning: 1. What are the main reasons you are redesigning your site (new business model, outdated site, expanded services, different audience)? Main reason to redesign our website now, is because it is a bit messy and cluttered and can be way more concise and simplified. A facelift is always good for any company too! We also want it to be more accessible for students and expand services. Many of our different departments have their own independent website, which is hard to access and find on our main website! We wish to mold these two together. 2. What are your primary online business objectives with the site redesign? What are your secondary objectives? Main objective is to see an increase of traffic from our current and prospective students. Also, More students enrolling online. Our second objective is to answer less customer calls, we hope that everyone can find current and relevant information quickly on our new website! 3. What is the main business problem you hope to solve with the site redesign? How will you measure the success of the solution? We hope to solve our issues with making the site more user friendly! We would like all students, including parents to access the site stress free and easily. We will ask student body and faculty members to navigate through the website as we watch them. 4. What existing strategy (both on- and offline) is in place to meet the new business objectives? We will have proper advertisement and posters announcing our new college website, encouraging people to view our website and stay longer! Audience/Desired Action: 1. Describe a typical site visitor. How often are they online, and what do they generally use the web for? A typical visitor would be approx. between the ages of 18-60. The age range is wide because we have fresh students from High School and those who are learning new skills after earning a degree. The majority of students are 24 years old or younger! They are often online to sign up for classes, to research and inquire information for classes or if they are learning computer programs. They use the internet to check emails daily for personal and for school purposes. They also check E Companion for class notes and posts. Many visitors are international speakers, English may not be their first language. Many visitors are employed as well as being students. 2. What is the primary “action” the site visitor should take when coming to your site (make a purchase, become a member, search for information)? The primary action should be to enroll as a student, and start their process and orientation. The knowledge and information must be very well presented to allow them to do so. Who should they choose you? Our target audience should choose us because we are extremely well known to be the #1 transfer school of the nation! We have a fun, outgoing atmosphere, close to beach! We also employ many University teachers that teach here as well as being a teacher elsewhere. We have a great reputation and offer great programs. 4. How many people (as far as you can tell) access your site on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis? How do you measure usage? Do you forecast usage to increase after the site launch and by how much? A few Hundred a week access our website, except when school is out for holidays! We have a program that keeps a number count! Yes it will increase, by thousands a month. Perception: 1. Use a few adjectives to describe how your site visitor should perceive the new site. ) Is this different than the current image perception? Friendly, fun, forward thinking, intelligent, corporate and educational. Yes, it is different than the current image. 2. How is your company currently perceived offline? Do you want to carry the same kind of message through your website? Our college is perceived to be the #1 transfer college in the nation and one of the top ranked community colleges. We have a high successful rate thus the reason why we have such a high rate of students! We want this to absolutely be carried over to our website, since at this moment it is not! Santa Monica College Website SMC: Competitive Analysis An analysis report showcasing one’s competition in the same field The purpose of this competitive analysis is to provide a comprehensive view into a range of websites within the design field. In our review, we analyzed content, features, technology, look & feel, and overall effectiveness of a selected set of sites. 2014 Smc.edu SMC: Competitive Analysis Competitive Analysis (overview): Goals and Objectives: The main purpose of this analysis is so that we can help serve you to the best of our abilities. It will help the creation of your new website. We can confidently move forward with the design and functionality of your new website once we understand the field of business you are in, your competition and what holds you or them back. In this review, we analyzed a set of different websites, in regards to the overall experience, functionality, color and look and feel. Also included, in this report, is a more detailed breakdown of each website including screen shots and commentary on the effectiveness of the websites. Methodology: This analysis has been conducted by the design team, some of which are already college students and those who were asked to think of themselves as one. This fits in your target audience which includes: prospective Students, Alumni, Parents and Faculty. Deliverables: The report will contain a detailed overview of each site, including screenshots, specific features and differentiating factors, and ratings, which will include usability, ease of use, and overall rating. Also included will be a comprehensive features grid, which shows a breakdown of the competitive sites into specific industry categories, and specific features divided into graphic, technical, content, and site-specific categories. The final report will also contain overall recommendations for the possible implementation of specific features that were highly rated and should be considered in the site’s redesign. SMC: Competitive Analysis We analyzed 4 major websites (including Santa Monica College) in the field of education, from 2 year to 4 year colleges, in order to determine the best approach in the redesign of your website. From our research, we have realized a lot of the better college websites offer a lot of relevant information in an appealing, clean and organized way! We notice the use of slideshows and the content on the homepage is vital. A strong inviting visual that is structured was also found. We also notice that having a responsive website is key and important for students; some websites were disoriented either on a desktop or mobile phone. We found that UC San Diego’s website was overall very strong and appealing. It offers many cool feature’s such as a virtual tour guide of the school. It also showcases all the different departments of the school as subdomains (mini websites) within the website. The sub domain websites are also appealing and have the same look and feel to keep consistency. The navigation is very simple and clean. The functionality and the ease to get to any kind of information is top notch. It has blogs for different departments as well! We found that SMC’s current website has too many confusing links and is very scattered. It is unorganized and can be annoying for prospective students. We recommend having a cleaner design and joining more than one similar topic together. Less is more. For the homepage, a lot of extra or miscellaneous content can be categorized differently as a better approach! Making use of sidebars for navigation is a good start! SMC: Competitive Analysis CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE (Homepage) (About Us) (Admissions) OVERVIEW: California State University of Northridge's website has a good j-query slideshow, but is lacking in many other areas. The homepage is decent but the rest of the site looks out dated and poorly designed. The typography does not stand out well enough and the use of gradients everywhere looks amateurish. It is simple and getting to information is quite easy. However, visually this site does not make a great impression! Overall, it is dull. Effectiveness Rating: Overall Experience: 2 out of 5 Functionality/Ease of Use: 4 out of 5 Look and Feel: 1 out of 5 SMC: Competitive Analysis University of Los Angeles (Homepage) (Admissions) (Performing Arts page) OVERVIEW: UCLA’s website is well balanced, visual and organized. It well presents the school and the campus life. It showcases all its programs, including sustainability practices, without it looking too overloaded. The navigation and slideshow is very well built. It is very easy to get to any information. Very well presented and organized. The design is also friendly and engaging. Effectiveness Rating: Overall Experience: 5 out of 5 Functionality/Ease of Use: 5 out of 5 Look and Feel: 4 out of 5 SMC: Competitive Analysis UC SAN DIEGO (homepage) Overview: UC San Diego’s website is very well designed. The colors and pictures draw you in. All kinds of information can be found without much confusion. It is very well organized and structured. The slideshow and navigation is excellent. When you access a page you immediately know where you are quickly and where to go. The look and feel is one of the greatest assets to this website. The pictures of students are friendly and inviting. This site caters to new students; current students and anyone want to learn about their exciting programs for the community. Effectiveness Rating: Overall Experience: 5 out of 5 Functionality/Ease of Use: 5 out of 5 Look and Feel: 5 out of 5 SMC: Competitive Analysis Santa Monica College d Overview: The Santa Monica College Website is very narrow and compact/tight. A lot of information is displayed with not much structure and it is hard on the eyes. The website is not very well organized. There are many pages in the site that just don’t look appealing at all or inviting, especially when displaying vital information to prospective students and parents. The school offers more than what is shown and it is hard to access that information. The website does not live up to how great this college really is!

Santa Monica College was first opened in 1929 as Santa Monica Junior College. Current enrollment is over 30,000 students in more than 90 fields of study. Santa Monica College is ranked number one among California's junior colleges in transfers to the University of California, University of Southern California, and Loyola Marymount University. We are redesigning our current website, www.smc.edu so it can become more accessible on all platforms, and has a modern and up to date look and feel. We want to showcase our great school and our programs in a more impactful way. We eventually want all demographics to be able to access our website with ease and confidence, knowing where to navigate and trusting that our school is a great fit for them. This project will be broken down into phases discussed in the schedule. The website is projected to be launched by June 20th, 2015. We do not want to interrupt students with a new site during the end of their semester, for that reason we are extending the date a little further. Audience Profile: A typical visitor can be accessing our website from the other side of the world (i.e. Asia). He/She is about 18 or 19, looking at our website with his or her parents on an affordable way to get into UCLA, wanting to continue their education in Los Angeles. Another typical visitor is between the ages of 18-35, men and women. Many of these students work part time to make ends meet. Some of these students have not continued their education after high school and want to start, and some are looking for a career change after a university. Many of these students are online often to research colleges, degrees and financial aid options. They also check their Facebook’s and Instagram’s daily! These visitors will want to look up our programs and departments, degrees and certificates and financial aid/tuition fees. They will want to sign up as a new student and go through the enrollment process. They will also want to speak with admissions office. These people care about their education and are interested in a safe and top ranked college. They will not forget SMC because of our strong attributes and assets that we highlight on our homepage. Santa Monica College website redesign 2014 Perception/Tone/Guidelines: -Visitors feel that current site is outdated, old fashioned, unorganized/messy and overwhelming. It does not convey a strong visual message. It is too plain and not an easy experience. -Visitors should feel excited, inspired, and passionate about our website and our school. It should be an easy, fun experience. They should understand how vast our school is and feel excited about our clubs and activities. - Our new website can reflect this by evaluating the competitive analysis and user ability testing. We will carefully put together the new site model based on what we are trying to achieve overall. -The site must convey that we are truly #1, we are one of the best California community colleges, if not the best. We must convey that we are there for the students and that we take pride in providing a safe, educational experience. Communication Strategy: We are trying to convey to our audience this college will build your educational foundation in a very cost effective way, the stepping stones to your success. This can be emphasized throughout our website, banner and ads and on our homepage. We will measure the success by asking for feedback from faculty and students. We will also feature this new launch on KCRW, radio show which belongs to our college. We will advertise everywhere possible and encourage enrollment and feedback. Competitive Positioning: Santa Monica College is the only community college by the Santa Monica beach. It is known to be the only #1 transfer school. Most students transfer into UCLA from SMC. It is also in safe environment. Students come from many different nationalities and countries to attend our college. Targeted Message: Santa Monica College encourages you to take a leap into your success and enroll in one of the many prestigious programs that are being offered in our safe and friendly environment. 4/1/2014 Santa Monica College Preliminary Estimate Description & Fees: The site will consist of approximately (100) pages.
