Site Launch: Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (IEHS)
Part of the Division of Research (opens new window) the Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (IEHS) has in the past hosted its own site, it was time to bring them into the overall Division of Research look and feel.
The navigation changed slightly to better focus on the users needs and the white background with black text makes the content even easier to read. The visual changes are not earth shattering because it is now in line with the rest of the Division of Research, IEHS does not have news or events or even promotions so the homepage does look a little bland.
The thing that is most impressive is the centralization of the faculty profiles (opens new window). Before, each faculty member controlled their own pages and there was no consistency to them. Now all the faculty profiles have the same fields, update automatically and the faculty can actually go in and update their own information. This structure makes it easy to scan and find desired faculty.
