St. Petersburg College will launch a new home page and event calendar on Monday, Jan. 30. The design of the new front page follows the clean and open design of other recently refreshed pages and is part of the college’s continuing effort to make its website easier to use for visitors and students. The new home page is a significant milestone. It incorporates three new areas of functionality into the SPC website: improved navigation, a dynamic event calendar and better display of important announcements.
The site’s new template incorporates a “mega-menu” navigation similar to that used by large enterprise websites such as Office Depot, Target and Home Depot. The menu style was carefully chosen for its flexibility and accessibility. It also simplifies navigation for the complex site.
To offer potential students and visitors versatility, the site introduce the ability to browse academic disciplines by areas of study or interest, in addition to program and degree type. The website’s new event calendar offers a more visually appealing presentation and can be sent to smartphone calendars easily. Events will be displayed prominently on the home page, as well as important announcements.
