01SUMMARY

Highlights of this project

The request

They wanted to launch an official site for the Kyoto University Lectureship Award, reaching audiences in Japan and abroad.

What we did

We prepared a bilingual Japanese-English structure, an admin screen that lets university staff update award recipients, commemorative lectures and news, and an operations manual.

Results

We delivered the site so that university staff can update information themselves after launch.

02BACKGROUND / APPROACH

Background and Consultation

We produced the official website for the Kyoto University Lectureship Award.
It supports both Japanese and English, and is set up so that university staff can update award recipients, commemorative lectures and news themselves.

How We Work

To convey the prestige of the award, we built the site around a Mincho typeface and deep navy, with large, prominent photography.
The top image of each page can be swapped and repositioned from the admin panel.

What We Kept in Mind

Multilingual

Japanese and English share the same structure, so switching languages never leaves visitors lost.

Easy to Update

We prepared an admin panel and an operations manual, so things run smoothly even when the person in charge changes.

Readability

Text size and spacing are set to stay easy to read, even on a smartphone.
