Less is more for university websites
Gerry McGovern writes in her article Less is more for university websites:
Universities are growing websites like mushrooms, and have an amazing capacity to publish large quantities of irrelevant and confusing content.
On the surface, this seems like a valid criticism - it is hard to find things on a univesity web site, through probably no harder than to find it when it was published as a 400 page "catalog."
It be that university websites would be easier to use if they followed the google model and encouraged the users to "search" rather than trying "sort" the site. What is it that users want, anyway ? And which two of them want the same thing ?
