WSU Today launches new website design
If you’re a regular visitor to WSU Today online, you probably have noticed some recent changes.
Here’s the scoop. On Aug. 24, WSU Today launched a newly designed version of its website at www.wsutoday.wsu.edu. The new website features a full-spectrum content management system (CMS) that will allow WSU Today editors to provide more services to all its visitors.
Currently the site offers most of the same basic services as the old site. However, in the weeks and months ahead WSU Today will be adding additional online items, like audio files, photo galleries, sound-slide shows, RSS feeds, enlargeable photos, a secondary page for upcoming events and calendar items, and additional news features.
You’re invited to visit the site regularly and give us feedback as services improve and grow. To that end, we’ve put a link titled “feedback” in the top toolbar. If you have an idea or comment, just click on it and a form will pop up that you can quickly fill in and send.
“Our website traffic has grown from 3,000 visitors per month to 74,000 visitors per month over the past several years,” said Robert Frank, WSU Today editor. “And computer and Web technology has changed drastically in that time. This new CMS system, designed by Dain White in Student Affairs, will allow us to do some catching up and, hopefully, move a bit into the future.
“It’s a privilege to be able to provide faculty, staff, students and alumni with current university news, and our WSU Today staff will try to improve that service in the future.”
