Your prospective student arrives on a program page. The virtual tour link breaks. The cost calculator shows last year's tuition. The faculty directory returns zero results because the search index hasn't rebuilt since January. She leaves. Your university website is the first filter in your admissions funnel — and right now it's rejecting qualified applicants before your team ever sees their names. Modern university web development means engineering sites that work for every audience: prospects researching programs, current students accessing portals, faculty managing research profiles, alumni reconnecting with your network. It means program finders with real-time availability, WCAG 2.1 AA compliance that prevents lawsuits, multi-language support for international recruitment, and department subsites that don't fracture your domain authority across twenty disconnected Drupal installs. It means architecture that doesn't force a $150K rebuild every time your CMS vendor ships a major version.

我们构建的内容
Migrate away from the Drupal treadmill — D7→D8→D9→D10→D11 cost you $140–300K and built zero new features for your students
Stop burying 200 programs in unsearchable PDF catalogs while competitors rank for every "[subject] degree [city]" search your prospects run
Fix faculty profiles with no structured data or research linkage — Google can't identify your researchers, so grant-related traffic goes to rival institutions
Eliminate WCAG 2.1 AA failures before Section 508 complaints turn into $50–500K settlements and reputational damage with disabled student families
Remove English-only barriers killing 73% of international prospect conversions — no visa guidance, no localized calculators, no tuition transparency
Consolidate twenty-plus department Drupal multisites fragmenting your SEO authority and confusing students navigating between schools on your domain

常见问题
大学网站重新设计需要多少钱？
社区学院网站——25 到 50 个页面、一个专业查找器和表单——费用为 $25–60K。中等规模大学构建包含 100–300 个页面、教师目录和系部子站的网站费用为 $60–150K。大型项目包括学生门户、多语言支持和虚拟参观，费用从 $100–200K 不等。所有项目都是固定费用。没有按小时计费的意外。
大学为什么应该从 Drupal 迁移到 Next.js？
Drupal 的迁移税每 2–3 年就会产生。D7 到 D8 费用 $50–100K。D8 到 D9 费用 $30–50K。D9 到 D10 再费用 $30–50K。D10 到 D11 将在 2026 年末到来。加起来，你已经花费了 $140–300K 一遍遍重建同一个网站。Next.js 没有强制迁移——你的投资会增长而不是重置。你还会获得更快的页面加载速度、更好的 SEO 和实际内置的可访问性。
专业查找器如何改进大学 SEO？
每个专业都有自己的页面，针对「计算机科学学位 [大学名称]」等查询进行优化。有 200 个专业，就有 200 个可索引的登陆页面，每个都针对准学生已在进行的特定搜索。添加 Schema.org Course 标记，这些页面将开始在 Google 中获得丰富片段——吸引通用专业列表根本无法获取的长尾招生意图流量。
你能与我们的学生信息系统 (SIS) 集成吗？
可以。我们使用 SAML、CAS 或 Shibboleth 构建 SSO 连接，根据你现有的身份提供商对学生进行身份验证。学生门户显示注册链接、成绩、财务援助状态和校园服务——所有这些都通过 Supabase 行级安全性保护。你的 SIS 保持为系统记录。我们永远不会复制它。
你如何处理大学网站的可访问性合规性？
我们从第一天起就将 WCAG 2.1 AA 合规性构建到架构中——语义 HTML、ARIA 标签、键盘导航、屏幕阅读器优化、颜色对比度强制、跳过链接和焦点管理。Next.js 和 Tailwind 给我们精确控制，WordPress 和 Drupal 插件根本无法匹配。我们的目标是 Lighthouse 评分 95+ 并用实际辅助技术测试，而不仅仅是自动化检查器。
大学网站构建需要多长时间？
社区学院网站在 10–12 周内上线。中等规模大学（包含专业查找器、教师目录和系部子站）需要 14–18 周。大型项目（包含学生门户、多语言支持和虚拟参观）需要 18–24 周。每个项目都包含内容迁移计划——你的团队不必手动复制粘贴 300 个页面。
