University of Derby /
Silktide Studios were commissioned to design and implement a completely new website for the University of Derby in 2006. Since then we've worked closely with the University to develop and grow the award winning site.
At launch, the new website contained 1,500 pages covering all of the faculties and schools, plus many departments. Silktide merged 8 existing courses databases into a single universal system which now markets all of the courses for the whole University.
What were the results?
The website won the 2008 Heist award for best Higher Education website in the UK.
During the year we launched the new site, page views increased by 162%, and have continued to rise to over 40 million per year.
From around 1,500 pages at launch, the University has used Silktide's content management system to grow the website to over 17,000 three years later. Over 100 University staff have contributed content to the website themselves.
