the challenge AND

the solution

HLSCC needed to elevate its academic standing, student engagement, and community impact. The existing website content lacked vibrancy and clarity in communicating the institution's strategic plan for the years 2022-2027.
Our team embarked on a comprehensive overhaul of HLSCC's Website. We aimed to create a vibrant and informative online space that aligned with the college's vision and goals.
