[La-cgs] Website Redesign/ Best Practices / Follw-up

[Menon, Sanjay]

Hi all,

I want to thank Ramu and Kelly for their suggestions and comments.  As part of my research on the topic, I came across the following lists:

https://freshysites.com/web-design-development/best-college-and-university-websites/

https://morweb.org/post/college-websites

I have made my recommendation to our IT people based on a combination of features that I liked on some of these sites.  I thought I will share the above lists with you for your interest.

Thanks!

Sanjay

I like University of Texas a lot, especially the second level pages: https://gradschool.utexas.edu/, click on one of the links in the drop-downs at the top (for example, hover on "Academics" and choose "Programs & Contacts" -- I love the simplicity of these pages.

I like the top level menu (in the red zone at the top) of University of Houston. The landing page is a bit too loud and "rah-rah" for my taste but it seems easier to navigate than the maze we have.

Here is some valuable and free advice: Absolutely, positively, DO NOT model it after our website! If you visit, you will see immediately that it is a total disaster and, very strangely, we (i.e., or web people) appear to be unable to do anything about it.

Best,
Ramu

Hi all,

At LSUS, we have an opportunity to redo our graduate studies pages including those of individual programs.  I was wondering if you can pass along any tips or best practices.  Also, are there any graduate school websites you would recommend as models?

Thanks in advance!
