User-friendly college websites

<p>Rice University recently redesigned home page (I believe it premiered on Dec.1) sports a calendar area to promote university events, space to promote top Rice stories and “a cleaner design for easier navigation”. There are also new gateway pages for undergraduates, graduates, faculty and staff aimed to provide audience-targeted news and information - at a glance.</p>

<p>“The new design provides a printer-friendly layout, a streamlined back-end process to allow for more timely posting of content and a separate design for a growing list of mobile devices, PDAs and smart phones.”</p>
