New website to better reflect needs of College
After nearly eight months of construction, Dartmouth launched its new homepage in August. The website, which features a photo display that changes every time the page is reloaded, was designed to make it more accessible to prospective and current students, parents, faculty and alumni. "What we ended up doing was looking for the commonalities in all of these different audience groups and then we built a design to accommodate all of them," said Sarah Horton, one of the site's creators. The new site was created by group of staff members known as "The HomeTeam" -- Horton from curricular computing and Rick Adams and Martin Grant from public affairs. "Overwhelmingly, the comments have been good and we've implemented a number of the suggestions that we've gotten," Adams said. Adams and Grant continue to make improvements to the site based on suggestions they receive from users.
