College Website
A responsive institutional website for Yogeshwar College that organises 18 faculties, approved course listings, alumni networks and current student information into a structure prospective students can actually navigate. Built on a headless CMS so the college updates its own content.

Departments given structured, individually maintainable profiles.
Project overview
Colleges accumulate content faster than almost any other kind of organisation — faculty profiles, course approvals, affiliation documents, admission notices, exam timetables, alumni records, event coverage. Yogeshwar College had all of it, spread across departmental PDFs and notice boards, with no coherent front door. A prospective student trying to answer a simple question like "what courses can I actually enrol in, and who teaches them" had to hunt. The redesign was less about visual polish than about imposing a hierarchy on a large body of institutional information and then keeping it maintainable by non-technical staff.
The problem
A large volume of academic information had no navigable structure. Prospective students could not find course and faculty details, statistics that demonstrated the college's standing were buried, and every content change required developer involvement — so the site drifted out of date between admission cycles.
How we built it
Our approach on this project
- 1
Information architecture first
Before any design work we built a content inventory of every faculty, course, statistic and document, then grouped it into a hierarchy that mirrors how a prospective student searches rather than how the college is organised internally.
- 2
Statistics as a credibility layer
Alumni count, active students, approved courses and faculty strength were pulled out of prose and given dedicated statistical cards, because these are the numbers that establish institutional credibility at a glance.
- 3
Headless CMS for departmental autonomy
Content was modelled in Sanity CMS so individual departments can maintain their own faculty profiles and course details without touching layout or risking the design system.
- 4
Design system and brand consistency
A constrained colour palette, typographic scale and component set were defined up front so that content added by many different people over years continues to look like one institution.
- 5
Mobile-first delivery
The majority of prospective-student traffic is mobile. Navigation, course exploration and enquiry forms were designed at small breakpoints first and scaled up.

Questions about this project
Why use a headless CMS for a college website?
Colleges have many content owners and a long content lifespan. A headless CMS like Sanity lets each department edit its own faculty and course entries through structured fields, so nobody can accidentally break the layout, and the same content can later feed a mobile app or student portal without a rewrite.
Can this handle NAAC, AICTE or affiliation disclosure requirements?
Yes. Mandatory disclosure documents and approval certificates are modelled as a managed document library with its own navigation section, so compliance content stays findable and can be updated without a release.
How much does a college website cost?
It depends almost entirely on how many content types need modelling and whether portals for students or staff are in scope. A structured institutional site of this shape generally starts around ₹1,00,000. We give a fixed quote after a content inventory.
