UNC-Chapel Hill: Department of Dramatic Art

A custom redesign for the Department of Dramatic Art at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The department’s old site, built years ago in FrontPage, had become cumbersome and fragmented. Information was difficult to find, and several links went nowhere. Also, the look of the site didn’t reflect the strengths and specialness of the department, including its nationally-renowned Professional Acting Training Program. Recognizing that it needed to be competitive with other respected programs’ websites, the department approached AndiSites to completely reorganize the site and give it a contemporary, warm, and inviting look-and-feel. AndiSites developed an updated palette, custom graphics reflecting the architecture of the department’s signature building, intuitive navigation and organization, and extensive use of photography (provided by the department and edited by AndiSites). The comprehensive new site now features individual faculty profiles, student portfolios (including downloadable/printable resumes and individual photo galleries), course listings and syllabi, embedded blogs, an embedded Google calendar, and multiple email links so that faculty and staff members can be contacted easily. AndiSites also provides maintenance of the site, regularly updating content and adding new information as needed.
