This is what they’re implementing soon. [http://clients.global-image.com/kctcs/](http://clients.global-image.com/kctcs/) Personally, I hate it. I can see how college kids would like it, but to me, it looks like some cheap grunge that is about to be outdated. I wish they would’ve done something like they did for their other client Wake Forest Law. [http://law.wfu.edu/](http://law.wfu.edu/) What do you guys think? Am I overreacting or am I justified in thinking this new site design is a hideous piece of crap? ---

I take you work for the college? I to work for a college and are currently in the process of working with an outside vendor on our web site. I think the designs are not bad, but not good… In my case many of the “powers above” me are making the decision and disregard your imput/expertise and go with the design that makes no sense from a design and usability point. I personally like [http://www.kelley.iu.edu/](http://www.kelley.iu.edu/) ---

The vendor had a “search & find” phase, and gathered input from every department and it’s people. And those people are well the Aristocrats and have become experts in design, but what do I know I’m just a pezant. ---

Thats actually pretty decent. I work for a university (we are updating the whole site in less than a year to a new more professional design)… but that looks better than my universities current site. [http://www.wmich.edu/](http://www.wmich.edu/) [whisper]I don’t work for any of the front pages I work for the online programs section… we have a very strict template for all the pages, can’t wait for the cms though should make life way easier[/whisper].
