The University Marketing Web team, represented by interim Senior Director Josianne Pennington, recently proposed a new home page design for TU’s website to President Loeschke. The response: “How soon can you make it happen?”
Working with partners in OTS, the Web team will launch a redesigned home page in mid-January, 2013.
A number of refinements to TU’s current site also will be unveiled:
1. All pages on our site will be centered, with a new site-wide background.
2. A new site-wide “Top Navigation” bar will replace the current one.
3. Many prominent landing pages on the site will be refreshed with new headers, more use of white space on pages and on left navigation backgrounds, and a single top-page photo instead of the current three-photo banner.
The following link is an example of a refreshed landing page: http://www.towson.edu/main/abouttu/newdesign/secondary.html
4. A new site-wide “Contact Footer” will be added above the redesigned current footer, as shown in the example. The Contact Footer will include a link to our campus maps, phone numbers for police, and other key university phone numbers.
5. A re-conceived Newsroom will be set up in a new blog format.
