WCUPA.edu Rebuttle

Debate with Melissa Sohmer over WCUPA.edu

I believe that the new West Chester University website has a great design. One of the first reasons that this site is great is that it relates to the students who use it. Before building the website the web team polled students and faculty about what they would like to see on the website. In addition to using this information to build the new site, they also used google analytics to find the most visited pages on the site, and bring them towards the front end to be easier to find. The design team also employed responsive design in order for the site to translate on any device; from a smart phone, to a tablet, to a projector. The overall design of the website is very easy to use and the links are easier to find, making the site very user friendly. In addition, the web team also added a fixed bar at the bottom of the screen that allows you to see campus announcements and sign in to any student portal used on campus.
