BRIEF

Create a web presence 
worthy of Plaksha's vision to be the fulcrum tech education in India.

In a world plagued by rote learning, lack of cross-functional education, and little real-world application, Plaksha, the brainchild of India’s brightest academic, industrial, and tech leaders offers a modern dynamic alternative. The objective is to highlight the University’s industry-altering approach to education and establish Plaksha as a bastion for fearless, next-gen tech leaders willing to take on and solve the most challenging problems of our times.

IDEATION

Designing and testing the programs.

Each course was carefully structured, designed, and colour- coded to highlight core offerings of the High School, UG, and PG programs. This resulted in an easy and methodical navigation process for users. Programs were also A/B tested to gauge how much information the audience could effectively consume through a mobile experience. This helped us land the right communication strategy to maintain effective engagement and creating a robust visual experience.

EXECUTION

Full-stack front-end  and CMS development.

We were involved from step 1 to the final execution of the  entire website. Built through a phase-wise execution plan,  we first developed a corporate web presence followed by the  program and academic detail. The CMS was built on Laravel PHP and it was custom created as per Plaksha’s requirements.  Overall, we produced a corporate digital experience that  effectively reflects the principles of Plaksha and its essence.  The balance between learning and doing.
