CEGEP Champlain - St. Lawrence is proud to announce the launch of our newly redesigned website, a project that has been underway for the past 20 months. The primary aims of the project have been to streamline our communications, support our recruitment efforts, align the site with our strong brand, and meet government requirements for language, security, and accessibility.
Consultations with various college stakeholders, including staff, faculty, students, and parents began in Winter 2023-24. Content development involved input from a variety of employees to update the messaging from the existing website to improve accuracy, clarity, and tone. Web agency Treize took the lead on the design and build, in a months-long process that kicked off this spring.
The updated website offers improved ergonomics with better navigational tools and a more intuitive menu, a search function, and integrated accessibility features, and is fully optimized for mobile devices to ensure a seamless experience for all users. The site also aligns much more closely with the college's branding, which was updated in 2019.
Designed with an immersive and visually dynamic approach, the new website includes more photos and videos, with attention paid to colour and negative space. Prospective students are now provided with a strong visual representation of campus life, academic programs, and college events. The refresh has allowed us to place a greater focus on student accomplishments, showcasing the very best the college has to offer.
A major positive change for future students and their families is that all content is now available in both French and English, meeting government requirements in addition to the needs of part of our student population.
Thank you to those who have taken part in focus groups or have contributed input on content development over the last year. We are excited to see the launch of the site, right in time for the 2025-2026 recruitment season.
