On Wednesday, June 28 and Thursday, June 29 members of the Fastspot team came to Siena’s campus to learn what it means to be a Saint. Although the website redesign process has just started, they have already heard a lot about our community. This onsite visit gave them a chance to see first-hand what Siena is all about.

Four members of the Fastspot team joined us through the two days:

• Abigail, project manager
• Curt, creative director
• Lucas, UX strategist
• Scott, designer

The group met with representatives from all across campus from 8 a.m.- 4 p.m. both days. Through the discussions, group activities and feedback, the Fastspot team gained a better understanding of our academic and campus culture and what makes Siena special, all while exploring the needs of each department and group.

Fastspot met with:

• Website Committee
• Cabinet
• Admissions Team
• IT Department
• Student Life and Campus Inclusion
• Marketing and Communications Department
• Alumni Group
• Faculty Group
• Web Editors
• Miscellaneous Community Members
• Current Students

These meetings provided the foundation for what will be the creative brief. This vision for the project will include objectives, style characteristics, considered audiences, and a plan for measuring success. Stay tuned for more on the creative brief in later posts!
