Overview
Raqbash builds university websites in Ahmedabad for universities and higher-education institutions: large, multi-audience sites serving prospective students, current students, faculty, researchers and alumni at once. The core challenge is scale and findability: hundreds of programmes and pages that still let a prospect find their course and apply in a few clicks.
A university site is judged on whether an applicant can discover the right programme, understand eligibility and fees, and start an application without friction, on any device, meeting accessibility obligations. We build the information architecture and admissions journeys that make a sprawling institution feel navigable.
Six capabilities cover almost every higher-education brief we take on, from a single-faculty institution to a multi-campus university with constituent colleges publishing from a hundred desks.
A searchable, filterable programme catalogue so a prospect reaches the right course by level, faculty, mode and interest in a few clicks, even across hundreds of programmes.
Programme-specific eligibility, fees, deadlines and application entry points that hand off cleanly to your admissions system instead of dead-ending in a PDF.
A CMS structure and governance model that lets many departments publish consistently without the site fragmenting into fifty different sites.
Clear paths for prospective students, current students, faculty and alumni, so each audience reaches its content without wading through everyone else's.
WCAG 2.2 AA, fast, mobile-first pages with multilingual support where your student body needs it, and authoring checks so it stays that way.
News, events and research showcases that build institutional reputation and feed the topical authority that drives long-term search visibility.
We make hundreds of programmes findable in three clicks, give a hundred departmental editors a structure they cannot fragment, keep accessibility enforced where content is created, and migrate your estate without erasing the search authority you spent a decade earning.
Search plus filters by level, faculty, mode and eligibility, and a real indexable URL for every programme so each course ranks on its own. A prospect's job is to find their course, not to explore your institution.
Role-based workflows, locked templates and required fields, so a hundred contributors produce one coherent site. Without governance a university site fragments into fifty different sites within two intakes, and no redesign survives that.
Accessible templates are the easy half. Required alt text, heading-order and contrast checks inside the CMS are what stop a department pasting an image-only PDF and quietly undoing conformance three months after launch.
A full URL inventory, a mapped redirect plan and post-launch rank monitoring. A replatform treated as a launch-week task is how an institution loses a decade of accumulated search authority in a fortnight.
Where our work stops. Raqbash builds and integrates education software. We are not a university, board or examination body, and we award, validate and accredit nothing. Recognition and accreditation is yours: UGC recognition, deemed-to-be-university status, NAAC, NBA, AICTE and NIRF are all yours to hold and confirm, and we display exactly what you supply while verifying none of it. Because grades and ranks expire (a NAAC grade has a validity period and NIRF is published annually), we build them as dated CMS fields with a review cadence rather than hardcoding them into a template, so a stale grade never sits in front of an applicant. We make no ranking, research-output or admission-outcome claims, and we will not invent them on your behalf. On accessibility: the obligations are your institution's, and what we do is build to WCAG 2.2 AA and enforce it in authoring. That is meaningfully different from certifying your estate, and we would rather be precise about it. And admissions, student-information and LMS integrations go only as deep as those systems' APIs allow, which we confirm in discovery before anyone promises an applicant a feature.
Universities choose Raqbash because we treat the brief as the information-architecture problem it actually is (findability, governance, accessibility and migration) rather than as a homepage that happens to be large.
A university brief is an information-architecture problem wearing a design brief's clothes. We start with the estate (programmes, departments, audiences, URLs) and let the visual design follow the structure.
Faceted search over hundreds of programmes, an indexable URL per course and schema that answer engines can read. Prospects who cannot find their programme in three clicks apply somewhere else.
Roles, review steps and templates that constrain contributors helpfully. The point is not to slow departments down; it is to let them publish without anyone rebuilding the site every two years.
Every education site we build ships to WCAG 2.2 AA, and on a multi-author estate we put the checks where the content is created so conformance survives contact with real editors.
URL inventory, redirect mapping and post-launch monitoring are part of the plan from week one, because a university has spent years earning rankings that a careless migration erases in days.
A senior in-house team in Ahmedabad you can meet on campus, in your timezone, accountable through admissions cycles rather than only until go-live.
Tell us your faculties, programme count, systems and who publishes today, and our Ahmedabad team will send you a free, phased scope covering a programme finder, governance model and a migration plan for the URLs you already rank for.
A single-faculty private university and a multi-campus institution with constituent colleges have almost nothing in common operationally. These six each break a website in a different place.
Broad, multi-faculty estates where the real problem is a prospect finding one programme among hundreds, and five audiences sharing one homepage without fighting over it.
Institutions whose status, structure and programme portfolio need explaining clearly to applicants and families who will not know the distinctions: presented as you state them, never as we assert them.
Constituent colleges, clinical affiliations and postgraduate specialisations organised so an applicant can navigate a genuinely complicated programme structure without a prospectus.
Faculty profiles, centres, publications and grant-funded projects structured as browsable, citable content rather than a PDF archive nobody can search.
Six phases take a university estate from audit to live and supported, with a full content and URL audit before any design work, and a migration phase that treats your existing rankings as an asset to protect rather than a risk to discover on launch day.
We map your faculties, programmes, audiences and systems, and find out who publishes what today, because that is who will publish tomorrow.
We inventory the existing estate, often thousands of URLs, and decide what migrates, what merges and what quietly dies, then design the information architecture and governance model before any visual work starts.
We design templates rather than pages: programme, department, faculty profile, news and campus, each accessible and each usable by an editor who is not a designer.
We build the programme finder, admissions journeys, CMS roles and workflows, plus the hand-offs to your admissions, student-information and LMS platforms where their APIs allow.
Content migration, a mapped redirect plan for every retired URL, accessibility and performance checks, editor training by department, and rank monitoring through the weeks after go-live.
Ongoing support from Ahmedabad across admissions cycles: new programmes, new departments, content help and the steady stream of changes a live university site generates.
We build higher-education estates on a modern, proven stack: faceted search over the programme catalogue, a governed headless CMS many departments can publish from, a real migration workstream, and secure hand-offs to the systems you already run.
Assessments, course delivery, catalogues and role-based access at scale are shipped work for us. These are the education platforms we have built and published: the engineering a university estate draws on.
Registrars, admissions directors and marketing heads rely on Raqbash for estates that stay coherent as they grow. Here's what working with us is like.
“Applicants find the programme they want instead of emailing the admissions office to ask whether we run it.”
“Thirty departments publish now and the site still looks like one institution. That was the part we thought was impossible.”
“They mapped every old URL before the migration. We came through the replatform without the drop everyone warned us about.”
Common questions from registrars, admissions directors and marketing heads: programme finders at scale, departmental publishing, migrating without losing rankings, keeping a large site accessible, displaying accreditation, and integrating admissions and LMS systems.
