vanderbi.lt link shortener
Have you seen the new vanderbi.lt shortened links appearing around the interwebs (especially on @VanderbiltU‘s Twitter account?) We recently launched a link shortening service for Vanderbilt: vanderbi.lt. Rather than using a generic shortener like bit.ly or ow.ly – we decided we’d like to have a branded solution that clearly shows that the content is from...... KEEP READING »

We moved them into Omni and created a muted color...... KEEP READING »

Division of Animal Care migrates from Drupal to Omni
The Division of Animal Care approached us about migrating their site from a Drupal installation to Omni. They were hosted with an external vendor and had been working with a third party design and development firm. They had numerous issues both with using Drupal and with authenticating through VUnetID. We moved them in-house onto Vanderbilt’s...... KEEP READING »

ITS contacted our office for some assistance in trying to simplify their software store options.

There are products that you can buy at both stores; some manufacturers only...... KEEP READING »

Our work with the Department of Political Science has truly been a pleasure. They’ve been extremely organized and were very invested in building out an informative and useful website for their department.

Disciplines and Majors database and site launched
A frequent request of prospective students and many across the campus was to have a centralized source of all disciplines and majors available for students at Vanderbilt. Rather than start from scratch, we approached the Vanderbilt Institutional Research Group (VIRG) to see if we could collaborate with them on creating such a tool. VIRG already...... KEEP READING »

We assisted DAR Communications in the redesign and development of the Reunion website. The site is a combo of wordpress pages and custom php/mysql scripts. Most of the site content and class pages are in wordpress. The VandyGrams (e-postcards alums can send to each other with classic images from their time at Vanderbilt) and the...... KEEP READING »
A to Z launched with tagging, open submission
We changed the Site Index from a very, very, very long list of alphabetical links to more use-friendly way to find all the Vanderbilt sites. They’re still there in alphabetical order (hence, A-Z), but broken down by letter for quicker browsing. More significantly, they’re now also broken down by category. We can now tag a......
