DRBU Background
DRBU Feature

Embark on a path of freedom, compassion, and self discovery.

Dharma Realm Buddhist University

As a Buddhist liberal arts college with a tight-knit community, our charge was to provide Dharma Realm Buddhist University with an elevated and nimble website that allowed them to communicate their truly unique institution. We supplied guidance and mentorship on how to write for the web and its audiences, along with providing a design system that could grow and stretch depending on the kind of assets available.

It has been an excellent year for us with the new website. We have already received more applications at this point in the admissions cycle than all of last year combined. I credit the website as being a big factor in that growth. We are so happy with our partnership with you all – and grateful for your kindness and excellence in craft. ”

Flexible Design System

Along with a robust design system, pages could take on a unique feel with additional header styling that could expand to highlight events, initiatives, stories, and more. Images in components utilized a custom shape to provide texture and uniqueness in smaller moments.

Improved Information Architecture

In addition to streamlining and organizing the overall information architecture, we introduced an additional section that could more effectively communicate the mission and vision of this unique institution, as well as its community offerings.
