The School of Management, Harpur College and Decker School of Nursing websites receive updated looks and new functions.
As a part of the new website launch on September 2, the School of Management, Harpur College of Arts and Sciences and Decker School of Nursing debuted new home pages. But they needed their entire sites upgraded to follow suit. Several hundred pages have been reproduced or migrated using our OmniUpdate content management system (CMS) to build-out these sites.
The School of Management project was expedited by three SOM staffers migrating pages with the guidance of our web team’s Gerald Hovancik, Producer/Developer. The site launched on November 25 with several new features including a flash-based slide show on the home page.
Harpur College of Arts and Sciences rolled out a new website on December 9. The new site involved integrating the Harpur Law Alumni database. Plans are being laid to enhance its home page with rotating images and video later this year.
DSON included 17.3 person-days of effort by the Web Group on top of their staffer’s efforts. The site migration affected 175 pages and included significant restructuring of its information architecture for better usability. As a result, DSON’s programs are more visible and its home page displays a rotation of some DSON’s faculty profiles.
