Digital principles

Our digital principles define how we design and create content for the University of Liverpool website and other digital platforms.

Be user-centred

Prioritise users, understand their needs and create content and functionality that meets those needs, in ways that suit and delight users.

Be digital-first

Start any initiative by considering the role that digital will play in delivering it and shape all new products, services or processes (or changes to existing one) in collaboration with digital experts to ensure that they can be successfully delivered and promoted digitally.

Do the hard work to make it simple

Provide simple, joined up, seamless ways for users to understand and interact with your complex systems and offerings.

Make it personal and real

Provide personalised experiences, which authentically reflect the University and build long-term relationships.

Create compelling content

Streamline to a smaller amount of high-quality content designed to meet specific user needs.

Make it findable

Make it easy for users to find what they need.

Connect content to users

Use digital to build productive connections and communities, and to connect users to content of interest.

Be safe

Ensure compliance and manage risks.

Be agile and evolving

Experiment, test, optimise.
