Web Redesign - Full Homepage Graphic

well, our talented graphic designers have been hard at work! based on the wireframe work and the resulting navigation schemes and labels, they have put together a graphic to help us visualize what the new homepage will look like. Here's a screenshot of the entire page. We are implementing this using HTML and CSS.



the target audience for the homepage is prospective and current students. therefore, they play a significant role in the homepage design. In addition to providing access to information, it will be important to use the homepage as a marketing tool, promoting ETSU activities and achievements and providing an idea of campus and academic life for prospective students.


In the survey responses, you said you wanted
  • improved navigation. Fewer links, more understandable sections. Much better navigation at the second-tier level, so getting to basic sites is more obvious
  • more variety in presentation - not so scripted, more links to what is going on on campus, weekly highlights boasting about students, student groups, faculty and staff at ETSU
  • Make it easier to find department links. Have "Quick links" to important information
  • New Pictures. change the pictures! More vibrant colors. more current style
You spoke, we are listening!! THANK YOU for your responses. we are making progress, let us know what you think.
