In late December 2005, the HomeTeam was convened with the inaugural task of redesigning the main Dartmouth web site (primary and secondary pages). Our project scope also includes tertiary department level sites.
Announcements
- Launch party! The new Dartmouth web site has been launched. We'll spend the next few days making minor adjustments and responding to feedback. Thanks for everyone's help! [8/30/06]
- The launch date for version 8 is set for August 30. [8/16/06]
- 2nd Web Town Meeting Announcement will be held August 3 from 3-4:30pm in Carson L01. [8/03/06]
- We've posted design mockups for the home and top-level pages. Take a look and let us know what you think, either by emailing hometeam@webster.dartmouth.edu or by posting your feedback to our blog. [7/25/06]
- Please take a moment to tell us about your experience searching the Dartmouth web by completing our survey, Feedback on Search (sorry, survey is closed; send feedback to hometeam@webster.dartmouth.edu). [7/19/06]
- We're looking for feedback on our wireframe mockup of the home page. The purpose of a wireframe is to test navigation design and site architecture without the distraction of visual design. When considering the wireframe, please focus on page sections, link titles, and overall structure. Also, please note that the links are not functional. You can provide feedback via our online survey (sorry, survey is closed), our Contact Us page, or by emailing hometeam@webster.dartmouth.edu. And thanks! [6/16/06]
- The launch date for Home 8 has been moved to early August. We'll release a more specific date when we get closer. [05/31/06]
