Reigate College

About the project

Reigate College specialises in providing high quality education for 16-19 year old students in a supportive and caring community and is committed to equality of rights and opportunity. It is a Beacon college and has been graded as 'outstanding' by Ofsted.
 
 
We worked with the marketing team at Reigate College to shape their current website, built on our VEBO content management system. At its heart are a series of publishing flows, ensuring that pages can be submitted by individual students or departments and then reviewed by the marketing ream before publication. This ensures that the quality and suitability of material is high and always adheres to the brand that they are aiming to reinforce where they can.
 
Content is kept fresh and up to date in two main ways, first by allowing students to post news stories about sporting events that they have a connection with and secondly by setting pages to be removed from the website after a set period of time.
 
We also included various advanced publishing and social media features to the system, allowing some sections of the site to be updated from RSS feeds as well as visitors to the site to comment and also create threaded discussions on important pages.
 
To ensure that the website appears well on search engine results pages, we worked with Reigate College to optimise the site and page contents. The aims here were to target key local areas, where they faced competition from other educational providers, as well as for key subject areas where they were rolling out new courses or looking for more students to be involved in.
