Wake Forest Quad View

I received a great comment from a blog reader yesterday that I wanted to respond to.  The comment was about the logo, and suggested that WFU needs to get moving and update the web site, since some believe it is looking old and is in need of a facelift and to make navigation easier.

I could not agree more.  And the good news is, my colleagues feel the same way!

We actually are involved with a project to overhaul the web site.  It is considerably complicated, as there are literally thousands of interlinked pages on the WFU site.  We are working with an expert web company to work on redesign and navigation - which will include elements of our visual identity - new logo, new standards, etc.

Realistically, this is going to be a work in progress for some time.  I suspect what will happen is that we begin to work on the “main” pages - the home page and the first level down, and gradually begin to get the new web site together.  However, this is still in discussion with our web masters and mistresses, and as the summer unfolds we will know more.

It will take some time to overhaul everything, but IMHO better to do it right the first time than do a spit and bubble gum and have to fix it again.  So bear with us - it *is* coming.

In other news, there was terrible bad weather here lastnight.  I have heard of a lot of storm damage, like downed trees, power outages, etc. - possibly from tornadoes - in Clemmons, which is a suburb of W-S - as well as other surrounding areas.  Rest assured that the campus looks fine and we seem to be all in one piece.   Our thoughts to anyone in the vicinity who has been affected.
