New website fully responsive for all devices
If you’ve visited hanover.edu lately, you’ll notice some big changes, especially if you’ve logged on with your smartphone or tablet.
Launched at the beginning of April, the complete transformation not only features large, full-screen photography, there’s also video highlighting Hanover’s beautiful campus.
According to Joe Lackner, director of web communications and the site’s designer, Hanover’s website has been reorganized with a simplified navigation targeted to the College’s key audiences. Other members of the project include Senior Director of Communications and Marketing Rhonda Burch and Web Development Specialist Benjamin Stilson.
“More and more, people use the Web on their mobile devices,” said Lackner. “Our goal was make it easy for people to learn about Hanover, regardless of which platform they used.”
The initial impact of the new site is impressive. There are 20 percent more page views, a seven percent increase in the time of each visit and 90 percent of self-reported prospective students rated the site as good or excellent.
Though only less than two month’s old, Hanover’s website has already earned a 2015 American Web Design Award. Out of 1,100 submissions only 18 percent earned this distinction.
Future changes to the site include continual updates and improvement of content, based on web analytics and user feedback.
