About The Entry
Exemplifi redesigned the website for California State University (CSU) to modernize the university’s digital presence while preserving the stability and structure required for a website’s long-term sustainability and its digital strategy.
CSU is one of the largest public higher education systems in the US, with the website encompassing more than 7000 pages. The site operates on Cascade CMS, a highly structured CMS platform commonly used by large public institutions.
This large-scale project demands technical expertise in Cascade CMS, which is significantly different from commonly used platforms like WordPress or Drupal. The team’s specialized knowledge of content governance, system architecture, and workflow design contributed to the successful execution of the redesign.
We delivered a streamlined user-centered experience for students, faculty, staff, and the broader public with improved information architecture, intuitive navigation, and optimized performance. Accessibility was a core priority throughout the project, making the site meet the WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards, and it is fully responsive across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
