New site to go live Wednesday, November 6
On Wednesday, Nov. 6, Colorado Mountain College will be migrating the main CMC website to the widely used web-publishing platform WordPress.
While the homepage of our website will look different – check the image above for a sneak peek – the navigation and design of interior pages will remain similar to the current site. The change was spurred by a need to provide the college with a more robust system with greater capabilities and increased stability.
The benefits of the migration are numerous. The new site incorporates “responsive design” which shifts the visible presentation of content when viewed on hand-held devices, tablets or desktops in order to enhance navigation and legibility. In addition, the new platform offers a vast array of plug-ins and add-ons for greater future functionality.
The new site also offers robust calendars that are easy to navigate. The calenders will also provide the ability to present current class schedule information and events on selected web pages. Among other functions, users will be able to add calendar events (including class dates) to their personal calendars with a click.
Check in with us and check out the new site tomorrow afternoon! The new site is scheduled to go live at 10 a.m. Some users may experience a time delay prior to the new site being visible on their screens.
