The website had to perform well even on low-speed internet connections, especially for users in remote areas, while maintaining full responsiveness across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

Requirements

Requirements

SMU engaged for a website of their university with aims roughly like:

  • Present course offerings, academic departments, medical & technical campus info clearly. (Health, medical, technological disciplines)
  • Provide transparent information : faculty details, accreditation, affiliations (UGC, NAAC, AIU, etc.)
  • Admission-related information : applications, fee structures, prospectus, notices.
  • Notices / circulars / announcements : updates from various institutes, fee payments, deadlines.
  • Contact, campus infrastructure, facilities, research and publications information.
  • Ensure responsive design for users (students, parents, researchers) across devices.
  • SEO readiness, performance, security, ability for SMU team to update content (notices, prospectus, faculty lists) without heavy technical dependence.

Challenges

The project involved a few key challenges that needed to be addressed for a scalable and efficient e-commerce experience:

  • Large volume of content across many institutes (Medical, Engineering, Nursing, Allied Health, etc.), each with its own faculty, departments, notices, prospectus.
  • Frequent updates :notices (fee changes, seat matrices, admissions), prospectus, fee structures – requiring a CMS workflow that supports timely updates.
  • Information clarity :many stakeholders (students, faculty, parents) need to find relevant info easily: courses, admissions, campus contact, etc.
  • Device diversity and connectivity :users in remote regions may access via slower networks, mobile devices; need for performance optimization and responsive layouts.
  • Security and trust :as an educational institution, must show accreditation, certifications, partner recognition, secure online payments for fees, downloadable documents.
  • Search visibility :many prospective students will search for “SMU courses”, “SMU admissions”, “fee structure” etc., so ensuring SEO friendly URLs, metadata.
