UNMC debuts the first stages of its redesigned website today.
Along with a modern, simplified look, the design of www.unmc.edu will adjust automatically for optimum viewing across devices, from desktop computers to smartphones.
The nearly two-year project will continue until the end of this year. Last year, UNMC’s expansive, 15,000-page website had 3.57 million visits.
The first and most visible change is the front page.
“The new design is more modern and fresh, using color in a subtle, strategic way,” said Stacie Hamel, associate director for web and interactive media in UNMC Public Relations. “We are especially excited to move to a responsive design, meaning the site will adjust automatically to mobile devices. That’s important for the growing number of students and other visitors who access our website on smartphones and tablets.”
Hamel said she and Dan Moser, associate director in ITS, “are fortunate to work with a talented, creative team that has worked long and very hard to make these projects as good as they can be.
“Web designer Ryan Shaw and web developer Todd Ashmore, along with Anne Faylor and Joe Ziskovsky, deserve the credit for what I’m confident will be a major improvement in our website,” Hamel said.
Hamel said the website better reflects the excellence in education, research and patient care taking place at UNMC.
The web teams from public relations and information technology services have worked for nearly two years on the redesign and CMS projects, with input from a campuswide advisory group.
