Digital team sprint notes 8 - 21 March
22 March, 2016This post was originally published on The University of Bath's Web Services Blog.
Every two weeks we publish an update on what we've delivered in the last two weeks, and what we intend to deliver in the coming fortnight. Here's the latest edition:
What we did
- Updated the section at the top of each piece of content with links off to similar content and a description of what type of content this is
- Improved the display of the page title and summary text for mobile, tablet and desktop
- Improved the layout of dates at the top of pages which have them
- Made the "Explore" item in the main menu link to a page which contains links to lists of all our content types
- Organisation landing pages now automatically list and link all of the groups which belong to that Organisation
- We wrote up our Design Principles
- We updated the CMS to provide a sample URL when publishers are asked to link to a profile in our research publications store
- Received 236 requests for support and resolved 193
- Worked with Student Services to make content changes as a result of the fact-checking process
- Delivered a Content Creation Bootcamp to members of the Library
- Wrote up the CMS project as a University Project in the new CMS itself. Very meta.
What we're going to do
- Add a link in the CMS to the preview and published versions of content
- Allow publishers to specify different types of call to action (eg. phone, email, link)
- Contact the Internet Archive to discover if it's possible to archive our pages without also archiving parts of bbc.co.uk(!)
- Improve the spacing between different sections of pages
- Complete final proof stages of Accommodation, Hospitality, Security, Eateries and Student Services transition projects
- Post to the blog about the forthcoming changes and link to it from the staff landing page.
