UGA’s Skidaway Institute of Oceanography launched its new website in April. Keeping the old URL, www.skio.uga.edu, the new site is more functional and visually appealing. The site was designed by Heideldesign, a Savannah-based firm, and the content was created by the Skidaway Institute’s staff.
The new site is easily navigable and uses photography from the Skidaway Institute campus. It utilizes a blue color pallette and wave graphics to reflect the institute’s focus on the ocean world.
The main site content is divided into the research center’s four disciplinary areas, allowing visitors and prospective and current students to dig in deeper to the study area of their choice. Faculty members have their own profile pages as well as lab pages, and each faculty member can log on to the site and add information, files, videos and photos. In addition, the site provides a wealth of content, including images and videos, on Skidaway Institute research, operations, outreach and resources.
The new site is powered by the content management system WordPress, which means administrators can also easily add news releases, publications and other information, keeping site content fresh and up to date.
