"It's a thing of beauty. Thanks!"   ~ Ann Tschirhart, Director of Communications

Over the last four years, Spring Arbor University (SAU) has worked with C2 
to create a variety of web properties. From the main site at arbor.edu to internal sites for Communications and IT teams,The C2 Group has provided ongoing thought leadership and development services for all things webby.

The Glitz

C2 has continued to support SAU with enhancements, most recently revamping the News and Events section to better address parent and alumni needs.  

Although the original design is now almost four years old (ancient in web terms), it has held up remarkably well with minor adjustments.  This directly raises the ROI of the project and allows SAU to spend their current marketing and IT dollars in other areas, rather than redesigning along a more typical website lifespan.

The Guts

While Arbor.edu has won high praises, we also provided design and development services for SAU's award-winning student blogging website based on their CMS, SAU Space, as well as two intranet sites for faculty, staff, and students. The site's Flash is able to be maintained by content managers with no Flash design experience, and the overall approach is maintained by using CMS-powered content entry forms to ensure site structure and consistency.

Arbor.edu is a truly scalable and sustainable CMS based solution that is actively managed by a few content administrators from the school's marketing department.
