User experience (UX) services
We offer user experience (UX) support to help University projects and services become more user focused.
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
While we work on these projects, our UX training is under review. In the meantime, 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
