Rice University launches its redesigned homepage
December 5th, 2007 by Karine Joly
It’s always the season for website redesigns…
Rice University (Houston, TX) launched its redesigned homepage last Saturday:
The redesigned home page includes a calendar area to better promote university events, banner space for promoting top Rice stories and a cleaner design for easier navigation. Gateway pages for undergraduates, graduates, faculty and staff deliver audience-targeted news and information at a glance.
The new design provides a printer-friendly layout, a streamlined back-end process to allow for more timely posting of content and a separate design for a growing list of mobile devices, PDAs and smart phones.
The pages meet compliance standards established by the World Wide Web Consortium and are supported by most modern browsers. In addition, the pages are Section 508 compliant to facilitate disabled users.

Kudos to Rice on the nice redesign. I like it — clean and simple. It’s one of the sites we’re looking at as we prepare to launch a new look as Missouri S&T.
The home page bears a close resemblance to the IKEA site.
Yeah… all the yellow really makes it look the same. ( rolls eyes )
