重新设计，重新想象，重建

In the summer of 2016, PCC launched a completely redesigned and reimagined www.帕萨迪纳市.edu. 我们有 a new look, new content, new functionality, new responsiveness, a new content management system, new information architecture... 好了，你懂的.

It took a lot of hard work from a lot of different people to bring this to fruition. Before we get into the details on the new site, we want to thank everyone that helped and contributed to making this revitalized website 一个现实. The last major redesign was over 10 years ago and this was a major undertaking. Without all of your support and help, we could not have made this 一个现实.

为什么要重新设计?

到2016年春天， www.帕萨迪纳市.edu website had over 33,000 pages and documents, much of which were incorrect or out 的日期. In addition, the site itself was was using outdated technology, requiring 为了维持生计，我们做了很多修补. Moreover, the site was not keeping pace with 现代、移动友好的浏览习惯.

We rebuilt, redesigned, and rethought the online presence of PCC from the ground up. Our goal was to create a better experience and make it easier for you to find and 利用网上信息.

新信息架构

Information architecture in its simplest explanation is the practice of deciding how to arrange the parts of something to be understandable. 我们几乎会见了所有部门 and entity on campus, including students, faculty, administrators, staff, and our neighbors to better understand how the school is structured and how that relates to 在网上找东西. In the end we created the first information architecture 对www.帕萨迪纳市.edu — easier to navigate, easier to understand, and easier to know 某物所属的地方.

新设计

With the redesign we took a mobile-first approach — meaning we designed for a mobile experience first, then worked toward tablet, laptop and desktop experiences. 这 helped us maintain focus on simplicity and necessity. 我们设计并开发了一个 new visual style guide for the website from the ground up, creating a modular system that is flexible and can easily be extended and redesigned in future iterations.

新内容

Keeping in sync with our mobile-first attitude, we worked with nearly every entity on campus to improve consistency of information by simplifying and rewriting content. Prior to embarking on rewriting the content, we developed a style guide to help create 声音和语调一致.

新内容管理系统

Goodbye Contribute, say hello to OmniUpdate. OmniUpdate is a centralized online content management system geared specifically towards universities and schools with built in tools for accessibility checks, forms, and news, and a simple editor interface. Plus, it's extendable and expandable, which means additional functions and tools could 在发布后很容易添加.

New Apps, Integrations, and Functionality

During the redesign, we evaluated every tool and integration that is part of the website and asked how we can make them better and more sustainable in the future. 我们有 a few new apps and integrations that have launched with the new site, including 目录, 25Live 日历, Document Management, and Governance to name a few.

时间轴

We will be starting training beginning in the Fall of 2016 with continued training 之后的资源. PCC faculty and staff should look for further information 在发布后的几周内.

Again, thank you to everyone that contributed and helped throughout this process. The web is ever-evolving and changing, and with this redesign, we will be better equipped 为了保持节奏. 快乐的浏览!
