New UMinfo HomePage Design & Layout
"What happened to the old Homepage?!?"
UMinfo is in the process of redesigning the "Look and Feel" of
the U of M HomePages. The old homepage was somewhat haphazard in
layout, and confusing to outsiders. With the help of a Design Group,
we have restructured UMinfo to be less cluttered and random. We hope
that the new layout will make it easier for people to find information
whether or not they are familiar with the internal "administrative"
structure of the U of M.
"I can't find a certain department..."
One of the new features we added to UMinfo is a powerful, easy-to-use
Search Page. You can search for any Web page
on UMinfo using common English phrases.
"The new page is so boring and plain!"
UMinfo will be seeking the advice of a Graphic Designer to provide UMinfo
with a professional, yet friendly "look and feel". We are hoping that the
fully graphical UMinfo homepage will be available in February of '96.
"Who decides on the layout and design of UMinfo?"
Issues relating to Layout and Design are dealt with by the
administrative WWW Steering Committee. The daily operation of UMinfo
is the responsibility of the UMinfo team under Computing and Network
Systems (formerly known as Computer Services). If you have a question
or comment, please feel free to contact the UMinfo team at the address
on the bottom of this page.
