Creating Excellence gets a facelift
altcom built the original content management system website for creating excellence in 2004, implementing a third party design. In 2007 altcom's design team was commissioned to re-interpret the brand and give the content management system templates a facelift.
The approach was to keep it clean and simple with a softer feel to it. Over the years the CMS had grown substantially so the redesign had to take into account a complex information architecture and a large body data on site usage. However, the wide range of users meant that radical restructuring would have required a much wider brief than a "design refresh" allowed for.
The creating excellence site was built using PHP and an early open source CMS.
