Let's explore the transformative journey of the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE), the successor of the former Szent István University, which underwent organizational changes in 2021, marking a new era for the institution. MATE excels in providing top-notch education and research opportunities in agricultural and life sciences, seamlessly merging traditional scientific values with modern technological advancements. The institution aims to foster the scientific development of both students and educators, offering sustainable solutions to current and future challenges.

The Challenge:

After their organizational transformation, MATE recognized the need for a new, integrated central website and related individual faculty pages. The goal was to create a central platform encompassing various organizational units, ensuring easy access to essential content for students and educators alike. Special attention had to be paid to accessibility considerations, making the website available to everyone.

The Solution:

Opting for the expertise of the Webtown team, recognized for their agility and reliability, MATE partnered with them to implement the new website and faculty pages. Throughout the project, there was a strong emphasis on close collaboration between the Webtown team and the university, ensuring a cooperative and effective execution. 

Together, they crafted a central website integrating subpages of organizational units, providing seamless access to necessary information. The design process emphasized meeting accessibility requirements, ensuring the website's availability and ease of navigation for all users. The result? A sleek, user-friendly interface tailored to the daily needs of the university community, fitting the needs of the education sector.
