UC Riverside’s website is an important tool for our campus to use in promoting our brand identity. Elements such as colors, graphics, fonts, and messaging used throughout the site are official representations of the UCR brand and ultimately support the university's mission and vision.

Providing end-users with a consistent brand experience throughout UCR sites encourages brand recognition and also communicates unity and professionalism.

UCR’s 2018-2019 website redesign project was integral to the university’s strategic communications in establishing a stronger digital presence. Ucr.edu is a space for us to cohesively promote our brand, mission, and vision while providing memorable experiences for website visitors. The redesign project has focused on five key areas that allow us to improve user experience, attract high-quality students, faculty, and staff, increase UCR’s support and donor bases, and deliver our compelling content through a more vibrant, visual layout.
