Outdated websites cost higher ed institutions reputation, time, and tears. We fix that.
We are a web development agency creating websites specifically for lean web teams in higher ed. So you can be proud of your site, edit your content easily, and continuously add or enhance features based on user insights.
We've built and enhanced dozens of Drupal websites for higher ed institutions —including Ivy League universities.
We help lean web teams in higher ed solve three problems:
Your existing website misrepresents your brand
It’s slow, buggy, and its design is outdated. And you don’t want your visitors to associate that site with your brand anymore.
Your existing website is hard for your web team to manage
You have a lean web team, but a lot of responsibilities. Yet your team feels frustrated and loses invaluable time trying to manage content with confusing interfaces.
You've reached the limits of what your existing website can do
You see new features others have on their websites. Yet you can’t add functionalities to your website because of its limitations.
KAIROS EDU-SITE FRAMEWORK
Lean web teams in higher ed have unique needs. That’s why we designed our proprietary framework.
The Kairos EDU-Site Framework makes building and managing your new site easier (and quicker) by guiding you at every step of the process.
UNDERSTAND
Your web team has an expert partner, from discovery to launch
We designed our Kairos EDU-Site Framework to expedite the discovery phase. We understand your business goals and capture your requirements quickly with our structured questionnaires and workshops. So we turn your ideas into reality, without losing time.
DEVELOP
Edit your site content as easily as editing a presentation
Our framework empowers your team with secure and scalable site management tools built in Drupal (the leading Content Management System for higher ed). Our Kairos Core platform offers an intuitive editing interface to manage your site efficiently and have more time for high-value tasks.
EVOLVE
Get monthly insights to track (and enhance) your site’s performance
Every website is a living thing. As part of our framework, you’ll get our monthly insights to see how your website is performing in different areas — content, speed, and user experience. So you can enhance your website based on insights from actual performance.

What you need to know before taking the leap
Not changing your website is already costing you
Keeping your outdated site has tangible costs — reputation, time, and lost opportunity. So if you are wondering if it’s the right moment for a change, remember that your existing website is already costing you every day.
Transition to a new website doesn’t have to be complicated
Yes, it requires work. But we’ve done it dozens of times and incorporated every detail in our framework. So we make the transition as easy as possible for your team and stakeholders.
We don’t provide marketing services
Because we believe excellence requires experts. And our expertise is in building and managing Drupal websites in higher education. Not marketing.
TESTIMONIALS
What our clients say about us
