New website for Chattahoochee Technical College

(Media release) Chattahoochee Technical College's newly designed website went live Wednesday after nearly nine months of development. The 2,318 page site – www.ChattahoocheeTech.edu – will feature information for current, prospective and former students, as well as other visitors interested in learning more about the school.

The dramatically redesigned site, created by Chattahoochee Technical College's in-house web designer, embodies the school's forward–thinking vision and commitment to the growing needs of its students. Based on research with users, it offers:

rich content provided by faculty and staff about programs of study, admissions, financial aid, sports and student life

direct access to contacts for more information from almost every page

streamlined searching and more intuitive navigation

interactive exhibitions using multimedia and technology

"The site, which features the realistic design of a student's desk, has been designed with student users in mind," said Chattahoochee Technical College Webmaster David Powell. "It's a fun design, but it is functional. Students will be able to use menus to navigate through the college's information, as well as the search functions distinct to the website."

The new web site features expanded content and streaming media including embedded videos, access to social media, interactive campus maps and much more. The redesign incorporates bold colors and graphics and completely new navigational tools. The new Chattahoochee Technical College web site will play a pivotal role in future marketing and recruiting efforts of the college.　It is intended to communicate a brand personality that is student-centered, active, vibrant, engaged, exciting, current and real-world focused. Additionally, the new site combines the former sports site to provide seamless information for visitors.

While many visitors can access the page with cell phone technology, those with older phones may experience some difficulties. However, plans are underway to create a mobile site that complements the new website.

"It has been a massive undertaking," said Powell. "The site is much more user friendly now, which will help users to navigate it easier and find what they need."
