The Loma Linda University website will be republished today, giving the first look at an organization-wide website redesign improving upon form and function. All Loma Linda University Health webpages will receive the same treatment by year’s end, hence the redesign’s moniker: “Look 17.”
The visual experience at home.llu.edu will offer new eye-appeal that, through deliberate use of color, imagery, text and video in a modular layout, guides readers to the content they most want. This experience also translates to mobile viewing.
All this works together with curated content that highlights the integration of health, science and Christian faith that is the hallmark of a Loma Linda University education. Along with better presentation of key information, the homepage now highlights student testimonials and storytelling.
“Sharing your story invites others into your life,” said Ralph Ambrose, director of web services. “Stories build community, inspire hope, teach, even heal. Look 17 empowers storytellers to convey our unique narratives.”
In addition to this improved on-page experience at home.llu.edu, easy linkage to the most essential and frequently visited LLU webpages is ensured through a new top navigation and a new page footer, leading to information for both internal and external readers.
The top navigation improvements include access to the four “pillar pages” for Loma Linda University: Education, Research, Campus and Spiritual Life, and Mission and Outreach. These four pages are included in the Look 17 redesign update, featuring freshly revised content.
The new footer links to LLU’s school sites and key resources, and it now includes an alumni support page and a link to emergency information.
Further details are available in this previous Look 17 story from July in News of the Week. Also see the rollout schedule.
