2009 Website Redesign
Over forty submissions for the SECAC website competition were received from universities throughout the southeast. MacRae Grossman, a major in Graphic Design and Digital Media in Blake Coglianese’s Advanced Web Design class at the University of North Florida, won the $1,000.00 prize. Thanks to all the faculty members who encouraged their talented students to submit their work. The jurors were very impressed by the quality and creativity of the entries.
The winning entry’s navigational elements are clean and attractive and should improve usability. While reflective of the site’s current content and structure, the design incorporates elements that will make the homepage more dynamic and user-friendly. High-demand information, such as upcoming dates, membership fees, and SECAC’s latest publication have been brought to the front of the site, making it a better entry point for both power-users and first-time visitors.
