What we do

We are currently working on the delivery of the new Web Publishing Platform and a new Design System for the University.

The UX Service staff are currently focused on two major projects:

• Build of a new Web Publishing Platform, to replace EdWeb and provide a wider range of more flexible web products and solutions
• Development of a new Design System for the University, to replace EdGEL with a more comprehensive set of components, principles and processes to define how the University designs content.

You can read more about these pieces of work in our blog posts: 

• The University Design System - a journey that has just started
• Content Audit Findings and the 100k Challenge

We have a  number of self-serve UX toolkits available, to help you plan and run activities to make your products and services more user-centric. You can request  access to these by emailing website.support@ed.ac.uk
