For Immediate Release
In conjunction with its impending transition to Utah Valley University July 1, UVSC has launched the home page of its new university Web site: www.uvu.edu.
The same firm commissioned to design UVU’s new family of logos designed the site; Salt Lake City-based Rare Method. The objective was to create a fresh and interactive online presence for UVU, while still maintaining some familiarity to regular users of the site.
“We’re very pleased with Rare Method’s design of our new Web site,” said Val Hale, vice president for advancement at UVSC and co-chair of the UVU Image Committee. “Once it’s complete, the site will offer increased usability for our students, faculty and staff as well as give our online presence a boost.”
For now, the site is limited to the home page, with all subsequent pages being redirected to UVSC’s current site. Gradually new sites will be moved into the new look and template of uvu.edu, the first being the prospective students/admissions sites. With more than 32,000 different Web pages, the transition will take some time, but programmers are hopeful the most visited sites will be in the new system by July 1, 2008.
“Creating this new look has taken countless hours of preparation, implementation and testing from our Web developers and programmers,” Hale said. “We applaud their hard work, and are looking forward to seeing the site fully functional.”
