WebTech provided website design and development services to various departments at Western University from 2010-2015. Some of their key accomplishments included launching a new homepage in 2011 that merged marketing and design teams, developing responsive mobile-friendly templates for the university homepage and six college sites, and implementing tools like Jenkins, JIRA, and custom forms to improve processes. They also took on front-end work for systems like myWestern and helped plan new projects for admissions and the registrar.
