The College of Fine Arts & Communication is home of the Department of Art & Design, Division of Communication, Department of Music, The Aber Suzuki Center, and the Department of Theatre & Dance at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. This college draws in artists, professionals, and students from all over as a cultural center on campus.

View Design

The first design of the college home page needed to be more engaging for prospective students and welcoming to current students as a portal to each department. Layout design was inspired by the college print material and implemented as a media rich Flash website. Users experienced seamless transitions between content pages and a video introduction from the Dean, Jeffrey Morin, upon arrival to the website.

Social Media

Social media provides the college with an incredible way to keep in contact with alumni, promote events, and reaches out to prospective students. Insights on user interactions and having control over how a Facebook Page is advertised and maintained have proven to be an invaluable resource.

View reDesign

As social media began to dominate the web, more focus was needed for the messages coming out of the college. This design included an RSS feed for the college and all departments. Event websites under the college were then centralized to the new design and taken off of the previous college template.

Update

The University is now moving all college and department websites to the content management system SharePoint. See below for links to the older generation department designs.

The Help Desk unit of Information Technology at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is the first level of support for technology related issues on campus. The staff needs quick access to three things; a knowledge base of information, instructional procedures, and shortcuts to the appropriate web tools related for every customer dilemma.

The first design for this website utilized Ajax to quickly pull in this information to assist employees in servicing their customers as fast as possible. The second design utilized the content management system SharePoint to connect these three resources creating pages that provide all the information needed.
