Launch Site
We worked with the Marketing and IT teams to create a new organization and website design for the main college site. We developed templates to be integrated into their own Craft content management system.

The COVID-19 pandemic hit the country hard in March of 2020. With communities and Universities in an unexpected lockdown mere weeks before graduation, schools and colleges were struggling to create a meaningful experience for their graduating students, and in the case of STAMPS School of Art & Design, showcase student work. Time was tight, and funding restricted – something needed to be done quickly and very cost-effectively,

Boxcar worked with the STAMPS marketing and IT team to quickly create a fun, celebratory standalone site to host commencement videos and addresses, tagged posts from Instagram, and a landing page for each graduating student.

I really appreciate everything you did to make this project come to life so beautifully, and we’ve had nothing but positive comments on the look and feel.  [We] couldn’t be happier with the result, and we look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.
