UD Guides, an internal site for advising guidelines for University Division and Students in Transition is getting a facelift. UD Guides was developed back in 2012 using WordPress and is OVPUE’s last internal WordPress site. WordPress sites require quite a bit of ongoing maintenance and this particular one was beginning to show its age. The new site features:
- an updated look that is in line with current university branding standards
- powerful internal search capabilities with granular control over what content is searchable
- an updated internal staff directory, automatically synced with the OVPUE staff directory in use on other OVPUE sites–but with internal/private phone numbers for staff whose direct lines are not public
- an updated authorization mechanism that automatically allows users who meet certain criteria to access the content, without requiring that UD manually add them
- tools to help UD and SIT make easier-to-read pages
Accordions and an easy to maintain staff directory make maintaining and using the new site easier for UD staff:
