Design & Development Services
Campus Web Services’ Design & Development team collaborates with university colleges, departments, centers and programs to design and build modern, intuitive and visually engaging websites. We deliver secure, accessible and scalable digital experiences that are easy to manage, built for long term sustainability and thoughtfully aligned with university standards, brand and strategic goals.
Website Migrations
Our migration services ensure a smooth transition from unsupported or end-of-life platforms—such as Drupal 7 or legacy WordPress—to the university’s supported web platforms: Arizona Sites (QuickStart) and Arizona Faculty Sites (CampusPress).
We preserve and restructure your content while modernizing site functionality using current QuickStart features. All migrated sites are mobile-first, brand-aligned, accessible and supported long-term through centrally managed Campus Web Services infrastructure.
Best for:
- Drupal 7 end-of-life sites
- Security-driven migrations
- Legacy or unsupported WordPress site
New Website Development
We design and build new websites from the ground up using university-supported platforms and best practices. From discovery through launch, our team collaborates with campus partners to create visually compelling, fully functional websites that clearly communicate your mission and support your goals.
Our process emphasizes clarity, usability, accessibility and scalability, ensuring your site is easy to manage and built to grow with your program.
Best for:
- New departments, programs, centers or initiatives
- Consolidated or reimagined web presences
- Strategic, high-visibility campus sites
Website Redesigns
If your existing website feels outdated or no longer meets user needs, our redesign services can help. We re-evaluate content structure, navigation and user experience, then redesign your site to be modern, intuitive, responsive and accessible, while staying within university brand guidelines.
Redesigns focus on improving usability and long-term sustainability—not just visual updates.
Best for:
- Outdated or difficult-to-navigate sites
- Sites with evolving audiences or goals
- Units seeking improved usability and clarity
Custom Projects & Enhancements
Some websites require solutions beyond standard configurations. For projects with unique requirements, our team offers custom design and development services tailored to your needs.
From advanced content displays and integrations to specialized functionality, we work closely with you to ensure custom solutions align with enterprise standards, accessibility requirements and long-term support models.
Best for:
- Complex or non-standard site requirements
- Custom integrations or features
- High-impact sites
