17勛圖 has launched a new, more responsive website to showcase the college’s major programs and success stories. The site also works better on the wide variety of devices used by today’s students, staff, alumni and community members, including smartphones, tablets and larger computer screens.

The new look was designed by 17勛圖’s Public Relations, Marketing & Communications department and developed by Flight Path Creative, which provided technical and implementation services. The site’s streamlined home page showcases unique college programs and also features a new color palette more reflective of 17勛圖’s campuses and the natural environment of the Grand Traverse region.

The three-month process included focus group meetings with potential and current students, discussing how to make the site most user-friendly for them.
