Toward the Future

Madisonville Community College is preparing to take the next step forward in web services. By mid-July, the MCC web site will sport a new look-and-feel based on user testing and best practices in web design. This makeover will make the site more appealing to traditional and non-traditional prospects alike. It will include a total rewrite of all web site content to exhibit a more concise, engaging tone that will allow users to find information they need more quickly and effectively.

But a brand new look is only part of the story. The MCC web site will also be migrated into Sitecore, our new content management system. This system gives subject matter experts more control over their web content by giving them a familiar, user-friendly interface for adding, editing, or deleting content. Announcements can be scheduled to display and hide at pre-determined times, ensuring the site always contains the most timely, most accurate content possible. Content can be shared across the site or across all of KCTCS, precluding the need to "reinvent the wheel". Our new look and improved content will reflect MCC’s commitment to being the college of choice for area students.

Bringing It All Together

All of this work, of course, is because of our ongoing commitment to provide our audiences with the best possible services, information and tools on our web sites. It's why we've thoroughly researched our audience's needs and expectations. It's why we seek to follow best practices, from how we architect our sites, to graphic design, to writing content in ways that appeal to our target audiences. It's why we've invested in tools like Sitecore to help us do our best, in the very best ways possible.

And it's why our jobs are never "done," because we're always looking for ways to improve how our web sites meet and exceed the expectations of all our audiences--our students, employees, communities ...and you!
