The document summarizes a presentation about redesigning the JUF website. The goals are to simplify the homepage, streamline navigation, and improve flexibility for microsite design while maintaining the overall brand. The redesign process involved research, analytics, committee meetings, and an iterative design process. Next steps include getting approval, upgrading systems, launching new sites, and integrating the full redesign by July 2011.

Editor's Notes
- #3 4Q: 1. Based on today's visit, how would you rate your site experience overall? 2. Which of the following best describes the primary purpose of your visit? 3. Were you able to complete the purpose of your visit today? 4. What do you value most about the www.juf.org website?
- #4 Four main pain points: Website design out-of-date. Last Staff Cabinet meeting = 11/18/2005, website launched 05/13/2007. Style of website homepages has changed. Content hard to find Homepage is compartmentalized, not integrated. We want to do a better job of giving the website visitor an accurate impression of what JUF is about overall Hard to know who to go to for what
- #5 Strategic objectives remain unchanged.
- #6 Cycle through 4 versions of homepage slideshow Slideshow. Can be programs, JUF News articles, video, etc. Also can be single image, e.g. emergency or EOY Large homepage buttons Now at juf.org Social media icons Register/Log-in
- #8 Old wrapper = top, left, and bottom. Left navigation would often interfere or be confused with microsite content.
- #9 Taxonomy is not final still want to do user testing
