Web Strategy Team Meeting 12.15.11

Mobile Site Soft Launch: m.miis.edu

A couple of caveats:

  • You’ll see that the events calendar module hasn’t been posted yet.
  • There will be a few more changes to the Admissions pages, which currently link to our website.

MiddMedia Developments

Eric spent sometime this week tweaking his Final Cut settings, so that from now on, all videos on the MIIS homepage will be hosted on MiddMedia.

Protocol for Moving Webpages

  • When you’re moving a webpage to a new URL, please use the proper syntax (i.e. http://miis.edu/student-life) Please use a dash (-) to separate words in your URL.
  • Email Rebecca and say that you need a 301 Redirect implemented, which will automatically take the users from the old URL to the new one. This prevents broken links on our website, which take users to a 404 Error page.

Looking Back on Our Goals

  • Revisit the “Be the Solution: Areas of Study” (for the big wigs)
  • Change “Community” to “Student Life” in the global navigation
  • Bonus Step: Check for broken links
  • Bonus Step 2: Re-create the campus map – in January
  • Bonus Step 3: Watch out for that pesky error on faculty program pages
