AASHE.org Redesign

We've been working for the past few months on a redesign for aashe.org and are glad to announce that the site is live and ready for the public. We're still ironing out a few kinks but I thought I would take this time to cover a bit of the process around the redesign. This project was unique in that AASHE had a development team that would be implementing the site. It was great working with Julia, Matt and the rest of the AASHE team and they did an excellent job tackling the development side of things. So with development taken care of, we were able to focus solely on design and front-end interaction.
Before I get too far in covering the details of the redesign, a little background on AASHE would probably help. From AASHE's About page;

"AASHE is an association of colleges and universities that are working to create a sustainable future. Our mission is to empower higher education to lead the sustainability transformation. We do this by providing resources, professional development, and a network of support to enable institutions of higher education to model and advance sustainability in everything they do, from governance and operations to education and research."

One thing that stands out is the part about providing resources, professional development, and a network of support. The design needed to facilitate this goal with a clean, well-structured interface and navigation that enables users to quickly find and filter the content they're looking for. Alright, enough talk. Let's dive in to the design.

These methods all work to enhance the interface and improve navigation throughout the site, getting users to the content they're looking for without a lot of fuss. So take a minute and check out the all new aashe.org.
