UX STRATEGY, WEBSITE & PDF DESIGN

Redesigning the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) Pathways website took a village.

As part of the AACC Pathways Project (with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), the goal was clear: create a fresh, user-friendly website that could serve as a go-to resource for educators working on Guided Pathways reforms at their institutions.

One of the key deliverables of AACC’s Pathways Project—funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—was to create a dynamic, user-friendly website to serve as a central resource hub for educators implementing the Guided Pathways framework. To bring this vision to life, Eve Simon Creative partnered with a range of expert collaborators, including Education Design Lab for content strategy and user testing at AACC’s annual conference, and Pongos Interactive our trusted WordPress development partner.
