It has been five years since the last redesign and content management system for the University’s website was upgraded. UTC.edu is overdue for improvement.
The improvements will take several months but result in a much better-functioning site; for example:
- It will target our student recruitment market
- It will make the site more accessible, and ADA compliant
- It will become effectively viewable on mobile devices
- It will greatly enhance the user experience and include simpler content management and archiving for editors campus wide
During the transition, ongoing routine maintenance and updates (edits) to departmental and other sections of the website will be possible.
The ability for campus editors to make changes will continue throughout the project, which will take approximately 12 months.
The project is now moving through sections of the website, prioritized according to impact on student recruitment, student enrollment and current student experience.
To facilitate transparency and regular communication around the project, a blog dedicated to sharing and archiving related information is at blog.utc.edu/web. Regular updates will include:
- FAQs
- Project milestones and timelines
- A platform for contacting the website team directly from the blog page
During this current phase, the website refresh, if you have requests for routine content edits, updates or additions that your current editors are unable to make, there is a form available to request website assistance at https://utc.edu/webrequest, or call Chris Gilligan at 425-4009.
