About the client

Nexford University is a Washington, DC-based Public Benefit Corporation focused on affordable, flexible education. Its mission is to help global learners build career-ready skills and advance their lives through accessible online programs.

Challenge

Nexford University needed a fully functional, responsive Sitecore website to support rising demand for enrollment applications. The site needed content, custom components, and a modern experience that could serve a global student base. The timeline was tight, and Nexford also needed to establish credibility in the competitive online education market.

Solution

Nexford University partnered with XCentium to launch its digital presence using Flex Accelerator for Sitecore, a Software as a Service solution developed by XCentium in collaboration with Sitecore.

XCentium delivered an enterprise-grade Sitecore 9.0 website in five weeks. The team adapted Nexford’s design, built requested customizations, and created components that aligned with the university’s brand and functional needs.

The solution also included custom forms, course recommendations, and calculators to support prospective students. These features helped students explore programs, choose the right path, and enroll online.

Outcomes

Nexford moved from having no website to having a comprehensive digital presence that could support growing enrollment demand. The new site gave prospective students clearer access to course information, improved navigation, and a modern online experience.

The platform also gave Nexford a scalable foundation for its goal of becoming the largest and most affordable American university in the world.
