Department of Science and Environmental Studies (SES EDUHK)
A responsive, multilingual departmental website for EdUHK SES, combining flexible academic publishing, faculty and programme content, news and events, rich media and secure university access in one maintainable digital platform.
The challenge
Understanding the real problem
SES needed to modernise a content-rich academic website serving prospective students, faculty and researchers. Editors required greater layout flexibility, while the platform also had to support multilingual content, structured academic information and secure access within the university environment.
The approach
Designed around people and operations
i2 reviewed the department's content journeys and developed a modular component library rather than relying on rigid page templates. Responsive behaviour, multilingual workflows and Microsoft Entra ID authentication were planned as integral parts of the platform architecture.
The solution
A system built to keep working
The new website gives SES reusable components for programmes, people, research, tables, news, events and image or video content. Editors can publish varied pages efficiently, while visitors receive a clearer experience across languages and devices.
Academic component library
Reusable image-and-text, table, grid, banner and carousel components support varied departmental publishing needs.
People and programme content
Structured layouts help visitors explore faculty, programmes, research information and departmental resources.
Secure university access
Microsoft Entra ID with SAML authentication supports controlled administrative access within the EdUHK environment.
News and event management
Dedicated publishing tools organise updates by year and optimise uploaded media for consistent display.
Inside the work
Interfaces and moments that matter
Responsible delivery
Trust is part of the architecture
Accessibility and inclusion
Mobile-first layouts, structured content patterns, readable information hierarchy and multilingual publishing improve access for students, researchers and staff using different devices and preferred languages.
