Background
The Collège Universitaire d'Architecture de Dakar (CUAD) has trained architects, urban planners and designers since 2008, from associate degree to Master's level — four fields of study, a student community drawn from more than a dozen nationalities. The existing site ran on WordPress and could no longer keep pace with the school: programmes, admissions, news, partnerships.
The challenge
“Our students and our partners deserved a site worthy of our programmes, not a WordPress site patched together over the years.”
Our solution
- 1Full migration from WordPress to Payload — content, media and structure rebuilt on a durable foundation
- 2Portal organised by field of study (Architecture, Urban Planning & Territories, Heritage, Design) with dedicated programme pages
- 3Admissions section with an online application form
- 4News, events, partners and resources sections for school life
- 5Professional email service dedicated to the institution and its students
Impact
CUAD now has a rebuilt portal that presents its four fields of study, its admissions and its institutional life on a durable technical foundation — the WordPress-to-Payload migration is complete, content and media included.
