As you may know, the Communications office will be launching the Law School’s new website on Thursday, June 18. The website has been completely redesigned and reorganized with usability and convenience as paramount concerns. The site is also being moved to a new, more powerful and flexible software platform that will greatly enhance our ability to engage the Law School community.
In order to ensure that the content on the new site accurately reflects that of the old site, we will be instituting a content freeze on the current site as of 3pm this Friday, June 12. This will mean that no one besides the Communications office will be able to make any changes to the Law School’s website between 3pm on 6/12 and 9am on 6/18. If you have changes that must be made during that time, please contact me (or Jenni Fry or Marsha Nagorsky if I am unavailable). If you currently have editing privileges on the Law School’s website (or would like to have such privileges), we will be announcing training sessions for use of the new software over the course of the summer.
After the launch of the new site on June 18, we ask for your help in identifying any issues, bugs, or missing content that may have gotten lost in the shuffle (due to the platform change, some web addresses [URLs] will have changed in the transition to the website’s new platform, so it’s possible that your favorites or bookmarks may need to be updated). We will provide a space for your feedback here on the Electronic Projects Blog, and we would greatly appreciate your input. While the site will be fully functional as of June 18, we expect to continue tweaking the content, organization, and appearance of the site throughout the summer, so your feedback will be vital in producing the best user experience possible.
