Web Reboot at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
Room 101A
UTC had a daunting responsive redesign challenge simultaneous with a CMS implementation. With 300 web editors and 10,000 pages of content, the project required strong project management and a lot of negotiation. But through a Web Services partnership that included IT, University Relations, Walker Center for Teaching and Learning, the Library, and OmniUpdate, they successfully tackled this massive website reboot. During this session, they’ll share their successful project strategies, redesign tips, and the lessons they learned along the way.
