Intervia University
Intervia University publishes certificate and degree courses alongside a programme of AI conferences, webinars and hackathons. It states a mission of providing accessible education and thought leadership in artificial intelligence and modern development technologies.
What the work involved
The defining requirement of an education site is that its content changes on a calendar somebody else controls. Intakes open, conferences are announced, deadlines move, and none of that can wait on a developer's availability. So the build treats courses and events as records an administrator edits, not as pages a developer writes.
The practical consequences:
- Courses and conferences are structured records, so the same event can appear on a listing, a detail page and a schedule without being typed three times.
- Dates are data. A conference that has passed leaves the "upcoming" list on its own rather than sitting there until someone notices.
- Enquiry forms route by subject, so a question about admission does not land in the same inbox as a sponsorship offer.
What is transferable from it
Every institution that says its website is out of date is describing the same cause: the content that changes most often is the content that requires a developer to change. Moving exactly those items into records, and leaving the rest as pages, fixes more of the problem than a redesign does.
