Today’s Tip:
Integrating multimedia items into your university news or events column not only shows that you have a lot going on but also that you are integrating multimedia into your every day activities. Too many universities place multimedia items on their site as an afterthought and they are usually self contained. Including them with traditional news items will get users to notice them without seeking out a separate section on the site.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for taking the time to review our new website and for your helpful comments. It’s always nice to get feedback from an informed peer in the field who understands all that goes into designing a solid site (including the underlying code), and that it’s much more than “making things look pretty on computer screens.”
Your site is a great service and encouragement to web designers in higher education who commonly operate with very limited resources (especially in smaller institutions) and whose work is rarely understood by others enough to provide this level of constructive input. Thanks, again!
