The new CU Info

Posted in Cornell.edu by Cornell's Most Infamous on November 14th, 2005.

In case you haven’t noticed, CU Info just got a facelift from the redesign team. Unfortunately, I am a big critic of web work in general, and this in particular is no exception. If you take a look a look at their new design, you’ll notice two things:

CUInfo New Page

1) It’s a lot prettier than the old one
2) The functionality is exactly the same

What’s the point of reworking one of Cornell.edu’s most popular pages if you’re not going to add some cool enhancements or a better workflow, resplendant with AJAX-y goodness and user-sensitive customizations?

    What exactly would you ajax about? It needs to stay as accessible as possible (blind students need it too), and ajax doesn’t seem like it would add much. It is, after, supposed to be more of a yellow pages for the cornell intranet then a service in and of itself. Just wondering what you would have done/added to it…
