Monday, September 10th, 2007

We have launched the new version of the web site for the Small Business Technology Development Center in Wilmington, NC.. (www.csb.uncw.edu/sbtdc/)

My goals in updating the site were as follows:

  • Streamline the navigation and make content easier to find
  • Build the site with current web standards and ensure ADA compliance
  • Update content on the site to reflect new staff and documents.
