WAC Delivers A New Digital Identity For The “University Of The Future”

Webandcrafts proudly unveiled the newly built, sophisticated website of Jain University, Kochi, at the recently held WAC Beyond Technology and Marketing Summit. The reimagined website sets a new benchmark in the digital space with its design, architecture, and technological finesse. The launch wasn’t a mere project delivery, but rather a statement of a partnership based on growth and futuristic innovation.

The vision was to curate a website that was both futuristic and student-centric. WAC’s expertise in technology and design helped translate this vision into reality by building a website that turned out to be more than just a mere information portal. The website ditched ordinary templates and conventional structures and harnessed the power of modern technology, design, and digital strategy that effortlessly communicated the future oriented outlook of Jain University Kochi.

The site structure and design stand true to its identity as both a “University of the Future” and a “People’s University,” portraying its academic strengths and values. It adopts an innovative and immersive approach that not only displays campus details and academic programs but also introduces content for employers, exclusive career support services for students, and much more compared to traditional university websites. 

Design 

AI-generated visual enhancements using Adobe Firefly were used to elevate the website design. Each visual element, from dynamic hero banners to images of campus life, and other branding cues, resonates with the pulse of both the students and stakeholders. 

Technology 

Most modern technology has been used to build the backbone of this futuristic website. Next.js was employed for static generation and server-side rendering, ensuring fast load times and SEO optimization. For a responsive and utility-first styling, Tailwind CSS was used, ensuring the website designs appeared both cohesive and maintainable. Butter smooth animations and interactive elements were successfully integrated using Framer Motion, assuring next-level UX with graceful transitions. 

WAC implemented a headless CMS, Strapi, within Jain’s system to efficiently meet the website’s evolving content needs. Strapi, being highly flexible and user-friendly, enables seamless content management across the site. From program announcements to news updates, now Jain’s content team can seamlessly publish, manage, and update content without any IT support.

Strong & Secure Hosting 

To ensure the site enjoys the highest standards of security, scalability, and performance, Google Cloud has been chosen as the hosting platform. It provides robust security measures and global content delivery, making content accessible to everyone, right from students in Kochi to partners across the globe. 

Jain University’s clear strategic guidance and WAC’s design and engineering efficiency gave shape to a Digital Platform for tomorrow. More than just a website, it’s symbolic of a collaborative achievement rooted in deep passion for excellence. Jain University, Kochi, has set the benchmark for universities that aspire to go beyond academics and into innovation, and today, the website confidently echoes the institution’s unwavering commitment to education, innovation, student empowerment, and community upliftment.

More than just a Digital Platform, the website portrays the institution’s rich history and technological craftsmanship in the right light.

• It amplifies its academic depth and outreach
• Inspires and engages both students and stakeholders.
• Operates on a highly reliable and secure infrastructure, backed by next generation technologies. 

Through this project, WAC once again reaffirms its role as not just a technological vendor but as a principled strategic partner, giving wings to clients’ digital ambitions.

The official reveal of the new website took place at the WAC Beyond Flagship innovation and technology summit. The website was handed over to Dr. Tom M Joseph, Director – New Initiatives at Jain (Deemed-to-be University), in the gracious presence of Shri P Rajeev, Minister for Industries, Law & Coir, Government of Kerala, and Shri Hibi Eden, Member of Parliament, Ernakulam.  

Taking a view at the visual and technological marvel, Dr. Tom stated: 
“Our new website is unlike any other in the higher education space. It combines cutting-edge technology with authentic storytelling while also focusing on employability and community relevance. This positions Jain University Kochi as a People’s University and strengthens our vision of becoming a true University of the Future.”

He also expressed his gratitude to WAC for the commendable job, employed in crafting a website that stays true to its identity of being the “University of the Future”.
