FIU.edu redesign, Part 1: New features

Over the past six months, FIU’s Web Communications team has been hard at work planning for and designing the new university homepage. It’s close to launch time, so FIU News asked the team to share some of the new features you can expect to find:

• Vibrant large-format photography
• Playable videos in the homepage banner
• Interactive tabs with content tailored to each audience
• Increased marketing area for on-campus constituents
• Mobile phone and tablet-friendly responsive design
• Refreshed and interactive “Life at FIU” page that showcases the dynamic nature of FIU and Miami

Audience Pages
The audience-oriented content has been cleaned up and moved into the interactive tabs underneath the banner. You can find important and popular links on each tab that you previously would have found on the Current Students, Future Students, Faculty & Staff, etc., pages.

Important Announcements
In that same tabbed area, you’ll find the new “Welcome to FIU” tab, where featured events, important dates and news will be posted.

Quick Links
The quick links are located in the same place – a drop-down menu now called “Tools.” Links to your Panther Mail, MyAccounts, eCampus, and many other resources are listed in this menu. Looking for that website feedback link?  That’s where you’ll find it.
