The Meadows website serves two primary functions: 1.) Showcase their mission and 2.) Organize an immense catalog of resources, projects, and academic research. With over 1,000 pages of content, we knew it would be the second challenge that required the most focus. We started by using the navigation to show primary content types, then made sure to be selective with filters on the list pages. The result is an intuitive structure with a clear hierarchy of information. > The new site looks great and compliments are rolling in. > Matthew Slater > Managing Editor At GLIDE we think even a table on a website can, and should, look beautiful. That said, it’s the design choices we made on key marketing pages that set the tone. Inviting imagery of students welcomes visitors into the site, while soothing colors and playful patterns round out the visual language. Academic research deserves a fun, fresh feel. ![Image Title](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/Miniature-5-9-1.png" Image Title") ![Image Title](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/Miniature-4-9-1.png" Image Title") ![Image Title](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/Miniature-2-9-1.png" Image Title") ![Image Title](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/Miniature-1-9-1.png" Image Title") ![Phone Notch](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/themes/glidedesign/assets/ src/images/front-camera.svg) ![Phone Notch](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/themes/glidedesign/assets/ src/images/mobile-bottom-line.svg) ![Phone Notch](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/themes/glidedesign/assets/ src/images/phone-notch.svg) ![Image](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/Mobile-1-2-1.png "Image") ![Phone Notch](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/themes/glidedesign/assets/ src/images/front-camera.svg) ![Phone Notch](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/themes/glidedesign/assets/ src/images/mobile-bottom-line.svg) ![Phone Notch](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/themes/glidedesign/assets/ src/images/phone-notch.svg) ![Image](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/Mobile-2-2-1.png "Image") ![Phone Notch](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/themes/glidedesign/assets/ src/images/front-camera.svg) ![Phone Notch](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/themes/glidedesign/assets/ src/images/mobile-bottom-line.svg) ![Phone Notch](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/themes/glidedesign/assets/ src/images/phone-notch.svg) ![Image](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/Mobile-3-2-1.png "Image") ## More Great Work ![Texas Bankers Association](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/texasbankers- list@2x-800x952.webp "Texas Bankers Association") Texas Bankers Association ### Navigating finance with ease Featured Education Design Development ![Baylor College of Medicine](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/bcm- list-redesign@2x-800x952.webp "Baylor College of Medicine") Baylor College of Medicine ### Giving to power the future of health Featured Education Design Development ![Maya Smart](https://www.glidedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/mayasmart-list@2x-800x952. webp "Maya Smart") Maya Smart ### Helping parents raise kids who thrive Featured Education Design Development
