Accessible design for higher education

Built around users

We inherited wireframes from Mennsk and built on user research to shape a clean, user-focused interface. With students, faculty, alumni, and the public all using the site, we had to balance clarity with flexibility. Modular design components let editors build pages that adapt to any content—without breaking UX.

Modern, confident, unique

We gave the University of Iceland a fresh visual identity to stand out in a sea of lookalike institutional sites. Enter Deep Pink: a bold, friendly contrast to the traditional blue, adding warmth without sacrificing credibility. Paired with a clean, legible typeface, the result feels modern, confident, and uniquely theirs.

Built to Last

We worked closely with the University of Iceland’s internal development team. Every component was documented, tested, and built to be responsive and accessible. The design system became the single source of truth—making handoff smoother and future updates far less painful.

Inclusive by design

Accessibility wasn’t a checkbox—it shaped every decision. From adopting the Atkinson Hyperlegible typeface to implementing pause buttons on carousels, we made sure users of all abilities could navigate with ease. High color contrast, logical reading order, focus states—you name it, we covered it.

The new site is a bold, accessible platform that lives up to the University of Iceland’s reputation. It’s now easier to explore, more inclusive, and built for growth. Best part? The internal team has a system they can confidently build on.
