New UNM home page goes live Friday

The UNM home page has been redesigned and is scheduled to go live Friday, June 30. To produce the new design, University Communication and Marketing Department staff studied usage of our current site, consulted with key users including students, parents, staff, faculty, administration, alumni, and reviewed a number of ‘best practice' university sites around the country.

It has been designed to meet our various users' needs – visual appeal, easy to use, and faster links. Additionally, the new design was “test driven” by numerous constituencies to ensure that critical user needs were met.

The home page will be in a continuous improvement mode. We realize there are numerous technical and architectural issues that factor into improving the home page and we have addressed a number of them in this new design. However, at this point, our focus is on producing a page with a streamlined design and simplified navigation.

If you have suggestions or questions, please contact Cinnamon Blair, UNM Marketing Manager, at cblair@unm.edu or by phone at 277-1806.
