About

Robin College (formerly Bredin College) is a career-focused private vocational institution with three campuses across Alberta—Edmonton, Spruce Grove, and Red Deer. For over 10 years, the college has provided practical diploma and certificate programs in business, healthcare, and technology, including Medical Office Assistant, Legal Assistant, Accounting and Payroll Administration, Community Support Worker, Business Administration, Office Assistant, and Early Learning and Child Care. With flexible in-person, virtual, and self-paced learning options, Robin College serves domestic and international students seeking job-ready training that can be completed in 6-12 months.

By mid-2024, Robin College had a solid reputation and consistent enrollment—but their website had become a critical liability. The previous agency had built the site, but communication had broken down, updates weren't being made, and technical issues were piling up. When Robin College attempted to regain control of their digital assets, the agency refused to transfer ownership despite contractual agreements, forcing the college into a legal dispute. The website remained inaccessible, outdated, and underperforming while the college was locked out of making necessary changes. Without full ownership, clear communication, or reliable support, Robin College couldn't update program information, improve SEO performance, or respond to student inquiries effectively—limiting enrollment growth and damaging their digital credibility.

Challenge

Robin College needed more than a website redesign—they needed to regain control of their digital presence and establish a sustainable, responsive web management system.

The situation presented several urgent problems:

  • No ownership or access — The college was locked out of their own website due to an agency dispute, unable to make updates or changes
  • Broken communication — Previous agency was unresponsive, leaving critical updates delayed or ignored entirely
  • Technical issues accumulating — Site performance, broken links, outdated content, and SEO problems were compounding without resolution
  • Legal complications — Contractual disputes over digital asset ownership created uncertainty and risk
  • Student experience suffering — Prospective students encountered outdated program information, slow load times, and broken inquiry forms
  • No reliable support system — The college had no guarantee of timely updates or ongoing maintenance

Beyond the immediate crisis, Robin College needed a long-term partner who would:

  • Provide full ownership and control of all digital assets
  • Guarantee fast, reliable communication and updates (24-48 hour turnaround)
  • Implement ongoing maintenance to prevent future technical issues
  • Improve SEO performance to capture high-intent program searches across Alberta
  • Build trust through transparency and contractual clarity

Without these elements, the college risked continued enrollment friction, lost leads, and ongoing operational disruption.

Web Design & Development

We didn't rebuild the site from scratch—we strategically migrated, cleaned up, and optimized the existing infrastructure to restore performance and control.

Rather than starting over, we focused on immediate impact and long-term sustainability:

  • Full ownership migration — Transferred all website assets, hosting, and administrative access to Robin College with clear documentation
  • Technical debt resolution — Fixed broken links, slow load times, mobile responsiveness issues, and security vulnerabilities
  • Program page optimization — Restructured content with clear value propositions, enrollment CTAs, and SEO-friendly descriptions
  • Mobile-first improvements — Optimized navigation, forms, and page speed for prospective students searching on smartphones
  • Streamlined inquiry process — Simplified contact forms and application pathways to reduce friction for serious students
  • Performance monitoring — Implemented ongoing speed and uptime monitoring to prevent future technical issues

Why this approach worked:Robin College didn't need a flashy redesign—they needed reliability, control, and results. By focusing on migration, cleanup, and optimization, we delivered immediate operational relief while building a foundation for long-term enrollment growth.

Search Engine Optimization

SEO was integrated throughout the migration to capture high-intent career training searches across Alberta.

We built a comprehensive local SEO strategy focused on sustainable visibility and qualified student leads:

  • Program page optimization for diploma and certificate searches (Medical Office Assistant, Legal Assistant, Accounting, etc.)
  • Location-specific content targeting Edmonton, Spruce Grove, and Red Deer career training searches
  • Schema markup implementation to improve visibility in search results and Google Business Profile
  • Internal linking architecture connecting related programs, locations, and student resources
  • Optimized metadata and heading structure to support relevance for competitive education keywords
  • Core Web Vitals optimization to improve page experience signals and search rankings
  • Ongoing SEO maintenance as part of the monthly plan to adapt to algorithm changes and market trends

Why this matters:Prospective students start their career training search on Google. By ranking for high-intent local searches like "Medical Office Assistant Edmonton," "career training Red Deer," and "diploma programs Spruce Grove," the site now captures qualified leads at the top of the funnel—before they contact competitors or enroll elsewhere.

This SEO framework ensures the site continues to grow organic visibility over time, creating a compounding enrollment asset that supports long-term institutional growth.
