Designing a New User-Centric College Public Website
St. Louis Community College replaced its public website with a new site, integrating all of the campus locations and providing a "user-centric" experience targeting many types of visitors and their individual needs. The user-experiences were identified along with new content, navigation, site organization, image and branding, and the "look and feel" required to successfully provide a sense of "uniqueness" and "connection" with each visitor. This session will benefit other institutions interested in re-engineering or re-focusing their public website, and discusses committees and personnel, goals, decisions, branding, best practices, and the web content management system and processes the College deployed. Originally presented at the League for Innovation CIT 2007. Updated and presented at MOREnet Helix 2008.
