Meet the new ±«Óătv homepage

- February 23, 2010

Your eyes aren’t fooling you. The ±«Óătv homepage just got a minor makeover. The changes aren’t radical or permanent: they’re temporary improvements as part of a much larger and more ambitious process.

So what’s changed?

  • The main navigation bar now runs along the top of the page and includes a link to ±«Óătv’s ±«Óătv website.
  • New content and calls-to-action focused on prospective ±«Óătv students.
  • The University Services link has moved to the top of the homepage alongside other links of interest to current students, faculty and staff: MyDal, OWL, Dal Online and the faculty/staff directory.
  • New links to ±«Óătv’s presence on various social media websites, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn.
  • A new slideshow about the university, hosted on the ±«Óătv site and featured on the homepage.

This is just the beginning, which is why you won’t find this new layout elsewhere on the Dalhouse website and none of the underlying navigation has been reworked. Those larger changes are coming: this fall, the university will launch a completely redesigned and re-organized along with several related pages as the first big steps in an ongoing project to revitalize ±«Óătv’s web presence.

You can provide feedback on the homepage in one of two ways.

  • If you’re having issues with the site or wish to simply offer your thoughts, click the red “give feedback” link in the lower-right-hand corner of the homepage.
  • Or, alternatively, comment in the discussion thread below.
