Please revert back to the old website as soon as possible. The new web design does nothing to enhance Middlebury’s web presence. The UI and visual elements of the old website were MUCH stronger than this current text heavy design. This design hurts MIDD.

[...] After “the font is too small” and “it’s too hard to edit”, search results were the top complaint about our old site during the web makeover’s requirements gathering phase. We heard that people got better results about our site from Google.com than they did from the GSA. The designers we worked with to build the new site proposed a solution in three parts: [...]

Hi Joe, et al…
Are there any worksessions this week? I have a few issues I can’t seem to resolve:

1. Adding a playable audio file to a node
2. Weird MiddTags wrapping between content and right column (and yes, right column has more content lower)
3. Can’t get site banner to appear (even when using that option under appearance).

Thanks! -Allison

When is the new site going to be launced? I’m guessing the hard launch on January 4th was wishful thinking…but is it going to be anytime in the near future?

Ok…
Love the modern design. It is clean and efficient.
Now, here are my concerns.

My family is from Nebraska, a midwestern state, where basically no one has heard of Middlebury…Many think Middlebury is in Connecticut. Therefore, could we please either add College to our name or add the college seal? We are after all one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious liberal arts colleges…a little tradition never hurt anyone…plus, the seal is non-religious (at least I think) and I have never found anyone who has been offended by the seal.

So, skip the word “college” in the header, or bring back the seal…but please don’t skip both. Over 90% of Middlebury students are not from Vermont…..

The images are in a MIDDfiles folder, the same place where you find the documents from the Resource Gallery.
