Abstract

The African-American Studies Department of San José State University asked for an improved website design which would better convey the benefits and purpose in enrolling under the major. It was also asked that the website become a reliable resource for undergraduates in their studies by providing an efficient navigation layout to various courses and professor contact information. By maintaining constant communication with the client, improvements were made in the overall look of the website, the navigation of pages compared to the original layout, and the quality of content present. Both prospective and currently enrolled students, as well as community partners are able to benefit from the reorganization and maintain awareness of upcoming events and associated educational media.
