WashU's website is lame

<p>Why does WashU's website look like a 10th grader made it. Compared to just about every other university, I am hard pressed to find a webpage lacking as much professionalism. WashU is not a bad school by any means, but what's up with the website?</p>

<p>Lacking professionalism? I don't get that from their site. It's nothing flashy but neither is the school. I like their site...</p>

<p>I think the website is very plain, which isn't bad in and of itself, but it is sometimes difficult to navigate. I don't think it's horrible--there are plenty of schools with worse sites.</p>

<p>I love this page: <a href="http://news-info.wustl.edu/web/page/normal/8584.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://news-info.wustl.edu/web/page/normal/8584.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Especially the last publication.</p>

<p>I do agree that the website is very navigable, I don't have a problem with that. I would think though, since WashU is constantly trying to put itself on the level of the most prestigous of institutions (which I have no problem with, its a great school), a good way to do that would be to have your website not look like a high school project.</p>

<p>WashU is so sexy!!! I especially like the way they send me sooooo much mail that i just throw in the garbage....WOW..i am applying there but i don't 50 post cards over the course of my day.</p>

<p>Not nearly as bad as, <a href="http://www.wellesley.edu/ResLife/whereyoulive.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.wellesley.edu/ResLife/whereyoulive.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I spit out some coffee and then wished I was blind. Although on the bright side, it is informative. I'm definitely signing up to do some website stuff when I get there.</p>

<p>Sheed30: lol seriously, I have a stack JUST from WUStL.</p>

<p>Jesus that Wellesley page looks like they made it in Paint.</p>

<p>Kyle...i know, WOW, and i can't believe Wellesley's page.</p>

<p>I love how the pictures of Boston are mostly random billboards.</p>

<p>Haha, I'm surprised the Wellesley page doesn't bombard you with Javascript messages or isn't filled with funny Javascript functions (cursor with a string of balls attached to it, marquees at the bottom, etc.).</p>

<p>Yes, much props for lack of glitter text and animations. I don't mean to bash their IT skills or people put to do these things (because at least information is somewhat accessible), I just wish half their content didn't look like it was designed in the 90s.</p>

<p>Wow - Wellesley needs to police the websites that run around using their name. Maybe pay this Brittany girl a couple extra bucks to take it down....ouch.</p>
