Marcel Digital has been recognized in the 18th Annual Web Excellence Awards, earning a win in the Education category for the redesign and development of the Montcalm Community College website.
The international award recognizes outstanding achievement in web design, development, user experience, accessibility, and digital innovation. This year’s competition received more than 1,750 entries from over 50 countries, highlighting exceptional digital work from agencies and organizations around the world.
The award-winning project was created in partnership with creative agency Envy Design and focused on delivering a more accessible, intuitive, and user-friendly experience for Montcalm Community College’s students, faculty, staff, and community members.
Recognized for User Experience and Accessibility
Higher education websites often need to serve multiple audiences while organizing large amounts of content and resources. For Montcalm Community College, the goal was not only to modernize the website visually, but also to make information easier to find and navigate.
Marcel led efforts focused on user experience, information architecture, search functionality, and website scalability. The redesigned website introduced clearer navigation and streamlined pathways to important resources, including:
Academic programs
Admissions and enrollment information
Workforce training opportunities
Campus services and student resources
The result was a more intuitive digital experience designed to help users quickly access the information they need while supporting the college’s long-term digital growth.
A Collaborative Award-Winning Project
Winning a Web Excellence Award reflects the collaboration and strategic thinking that shaped the project from start to finish. By combining UX strategy, accessibility best practices, modern web development, and thoughtful design, the project delivered a website built around usability, flexibility, and the needs of its users.
The recognition also highlights the importance of creating websites that balance functionality and user experience, particularly in higher education environments where accessibility, navigation, and content organization play a critical role.
Looking Ahead
As exciting as awards are, the most rewarding part of projects like this is seeing the long-term impact they have for the organizations and communities they serve. We’re proud of the partnership behind this project and grateful to Montcalm Community College for trusting our team throughout the process.
We’re looking forward to continuing to build digital solutions that help organizations grow, connect with their audiences, and create better experiences online.
