Today’s Tip:
Make sure you are tracking analytics on your site in some way. Google Analytics is by far the most popular method but it isn’t the only option out there. Some schools have begun to opt out of Google Analytics because of privacy concerns. Sending visitor information to another server could potentially be dangerous. If you are looking for something that offers similar features as Google but hosted on your own servers check out http://piwik.org/

Nick, thanks for reviewing our site. I’m the web content director at Marywood, so I’m particularly happy you gave us such a high score for information. We just redesigned our homepage, and we’re in the final stage of transitioning into our new CMS. We have a lot of work to do, but we’ve come a long way in only a couple of years. I definitely appreciate the feedback. P.S. You’re right in assuming the messy HTML is a “CMS code curse.”
