New Albany, OH – June 29, 2026 — The Buckeye Innovation team was recently named recipients of the 2026 APEX Award of Excellence for Design & Layout for their work with the American College of Education — ACE.
The team worked to update the layout of their page, placing program pages to display courses, careers, student success stories, and transparent financial aid information all in one place. The team is thrilled to receive this prestigious recognition for their work with ACE.
Tony Todoroff, lead designer on the project from Buckeye Innovation’s team, said that working on the new ACE program page was a pleasure and an exciting challenge to put together.
“ACE’s new Program pages are designed to simplify the college decision-making process by presenting complex information in a clear, intuitive, and engaging way,” Todoroff said. “By prioritizing accessibility and user-centered design, the page is transformed from a content-heavy admissions experience into one that is easy to navigate, highly informative, and conversion-focused.”
