Hollins Announces Website Redesign Hollins sign

Hollins University has launched a redesign of its website, Hollins.edu, the most recent step in a continuing effort to better serve its community through the school’s growing digital platform.

Features include easy navigation, a refreshed look, and clean content to provide a user-friendly online experience. The site also boasts a new responsive design to accommodate the increasing amount of web traffic that comes from tablets and mobile devices.

“The redesigned website highlights Hollins’ standing as a prestigious liberal arts university,” said Hollins President Nancy Gray. “The intent is to showcase our close community and the strength of our student body and academic programs.”

Hollins produced the redesign in partnership with NewCity, a nationally recognized consulting, design, and development firm based in Blacksburg.

“Hollins’ approach should serve as a textbook to any school wanting to enhance its identity,” said Brian Maddox, creative director at NewCity. “The design sits comfortably where heritage meets contemporary, much like Hollins itself. They took the time to not only discover who they were speaking to as an institution, but also what voice they were using to do so.”

Gray added, “The redesign perfectly portrays our history and personality. It reflects our longstanding mission of preparing students for lives of active learning, fulfilling work, personal growth, achievement, and service to society.”
