City College of San Francisco

Creating a unified digital experience for the university meant eliminating fragmented systems and establishing a single source of truth. By integrating course data directly into the website, we streamlined content management, improved accuracy, and made it easier for students and faculty to access up-to-date information. The result is a cohesive, user-friendly platform that brings clarity and consistency to the university’s academic offerings.
