NEW WEB SITE DESIGN

UMKC is redesigning its web site and is looking for feedback from you – the user!

To provide your feedback visit www.umkc.edu/website, starting March 16, 2009. The survey only takes 5 minutes or less to complete.

The site presents two design ideas for review. We want and appreciate your honest and constructive critique about the designs and the navigation.

The web site designs will be up for one week, ending on Sunday, March 22, 2009. After this time, the feedback will be used to provide direction for the final web site design.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In addition to the online feedback, information has been gathered from governing groups across campus, including the Vice Chancellor’s Advisory Council, Student Government Association, Faculty Senate and the Dean’s Council.

Research efforts also included:

1. Focus group sessions with future students and their parents from the Kansas City metropolitan region.

2. Review of peer institution’s web sites.

3. Web industry research for user expectations and behaviors, as well as best practices.

After you have taken the survey, continue to use the web site to keep informed of the project’s progress.

Thank you for your time and participation.
