Challenges to overcome 

Every project has its challenges, and so does this one too. We already knew that this website would take a lot of time, so we had to preplan everything on what to do and how. The biggest challenge was to preplan and make a well-structured, scalable, and easy-to-navigate website. 

The challenge is to use the appropriate coding language, which is also compatible with CMS. We also had to code it efficiently so that it would stay up, fast, and secure by maintaining the standard. Additionally, placing the CTA strategically for more engagement also takes attention. It took more than just our accumulated development experience to choose the right place for CTA to make it work effectively. 

As UWF is from a different land, effective communication was crucial. The problem is the time zone difference between us and UWF. We deliberately synchronize our time to work efficiently with quality communication to take them through this long website development journey. 

How Acquaint Helped UFW with Advanced Solutions 

Acquaint always believes in offering more than just needed to our respected clients. From the beginning, we knew that project UFW would take more than just our skills and experience, so we started with the plan. The website needed different web pages, so we planned the website structure by communicating with UFW. Understanding the needs, we made a perfect structure for the website, and now it's time to start the design process. 

Project UFW was a university website, so we had to make it a welcoming and scalable approach. Our design team started with the design of the website with Photoshop. Our design team used their experience and expertise in Photoshop to make a perfect design that UFW approved. The designer team also strategically placed the CTA button on the website to make it more purposeful. 

After approving the website design, our developer team started coding. We used Bootstrap to make the design more purposeful and welcoming and JavaScript to make it more engaging. Using images, videos, and graphical elements and blending both technologies, we developed a website that looks amazing and is eye candy to the user. 

The website also needed a content management system for managing all necessary details from the backend. Using PHP, we also tweaked WordPress to make it work exactly how our client wanted. 

Meanwhile, our developers also take care of coding efficiently so that it runs fast and smoothly. As per the requirements, we integrated all the necessary features that make the website more engaging. 

We added features like social media integration, online Map integration for virtual campus touring, an Image and Video Gallery, a mail subscription to get the latest updates, an Easy register and login page, a search bar, a quick link dropdown, and all other necessary features that made this website a masterpiece. 

By joining hands with Acquaint, we took UWF on the remarkable journey of Campus website development. Made them a welcoming and purposeful website.
