Tales From a Redesign
We finally made some headway today in our redesign of http://www.aviation.siu.edu. In a meeting with the departmental executive committee it was finally agreed upon that we must take the actual content of the site seriously. This is a big move as for the last 10 years I have almost never received any feedback on any change I made. In addition, there was a general agreement that the site has become a virtual pack-rat with features and content that have long outlived their usefulness.
Although these may sound like trivial items to many groups, unfortunately the powers that be where I work have not, until recently, been convinced of the power of online marketing and started to take it seriously. Now in many ways this shift does make my work a little harder with added oversight and more pressure, but it is a challenge I have looked forward to for years.
It has been a good day!
