Tapping into tech for GMIoT
The new Greater Manchester Institute of Technology (GMIoT) stands as a beacon of superior STEM education within the region, reflecting its commitment through significant investments and partnerships.
Recognising the potential and benefits of a digital platform, GMIoT sought to provide an intuitive and accessible online experience tailored to meet the needs of educational institutions, employers, and eager learners, fast-tracking students into some of the biggest growth areas in the Greater Manchester economy and jobs market.
The Challenge
GMIoT’s identity needed an online canvas. The challenge lay in encapsulating the institution’s vast capabilities and potential while adhering to a design language that was universally accessible. In today’s digital age, ensuring seamless navigation, complete responsiveness, and all-inclusive accessibility isn’t just a nicety; it’s a necessity.

Our extraordinary thinking
To address these needs, our emphasis was two-fold:
Deep-Dive into Accessibility:
Beyond the standard expectations of color contrast and typography, our strategy dove into the intricacies of digital accessibility. This meant prioritising features like alt text descriptions, keyboard-only navigation, and ensuring every design decision upheld WCAG 2.0 AA Accessibility standards.
Prioritising User Experience:
Our aim was to craft an experience where information was not just available, but also effortlessly discoverable. This demanded a design that was intuitive, efficient, and most importantly, user-centric.
Delivered
In a world where digital platforms are the primary touchpoint, GMIoT now stands with a website that does more than just convey information. It provides an experience – one that’s accessible, user-centric, and reflective of its unparalleled commitment to STEM education in Greater Manchester.
The result was a digital platform that wasn’t just a website but a reflection of GMIoT’s commitment to excellence:
Fully Responsive Design:
Whether accessed via desktop, tablet, or mobile, users are met with an uninterrupted browsing experience.
Inclusivity at its Best:
Adhering to WCAG 2.0 AA Accessibility standards, the website caters to all, ensuring no one is left behind in their quest for knowledge.
Dynamic Content Control:
GMIoT isn’t static, and neither is its website. The design empowers the institution to actively update news, events, case studies, and even modify existing pages, ensuring the platform remains as dynamic as its offerings.
