Big deal alert! We’re thrilled to share that we recently received a Gold Hermes Creative Award for our redesign of Endicott College’s website.

The redesign underscores the transformational impact that a well-crafted website can have. Liquid’s design and development teams brought their creative and technical excellence together to produce a solution that’s as strategic as it is visually striking. Every design decision was rooted in a deep understanding of the college's strategic objectives, the pressures of its competitive environment, and the needs of its diverse target audience, from prospective students and parents to faculty and alumni.

“From start to finish, partnering with the team at Liquid on Endicott’s website redesign was a pleasure. Our website has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback from the College community, and we’re incredibly proud of what we created together.” shared Dan Toth, Director of Digital and Web Services at Endicott College. “Award or not, this redesign reflects the spirit of Endicott and delivers a digital experience that truly represents who we are.”

This now award-winning redesign focused on delivering something intuitive with a crisp, user interface that not only reinforced the institution’s distinctive identity but also elevated its competitive position in the education sector.

By aligning an updated visual language with a highly structured component design, the new site provides a seamless user experience that is as compelling as it is accessible. And that’s for end users and content managers alike!

“The team at Endicott is everything you want in a partner. Smart, committed, and fully aware of the challenges we needed to solve together.” said Jason Mastroianni, Liquid’s VP of Creative. “Big sites can often bring big problems, but our collective team met them head-on or prevented them from popping up in the first place, and created an iteration of the Endicott website that’s improved across the board. The best part? We now have a solid foundation to continue building on because user experience should never stay still for too long.”
