Coastal Now Menu

CCU launches redesigned website

Coastal Carolina University launched its redesigned website April 18. The site is designed to appeal to prospective and new students and their parents.


The yearlong project has been led by Bill Plate, vice president for university communication, and a core committee of nine, with a larger advisory group.

The new coastal.edu is designed for easy viewing and interaction on all devices, from desktop computers to tablets to mobile phones. To maintain and improve usability for the University’s many constituencies – current students, faculty and staff, alumni, donors and community members – landing pages have been created for each different audience.

Faculty and staff have a unique entry point to the new site that will lead directly to the areas most applicable to them.

An additional feature for locating useful information is the directory link (it appears as three horizontal lines and is also known as a “hamburger” menu) embedded in the top right corner of the header on each page of the new site. The search mechanism, shown as a magnifying glass in the header, will continue to be refined so that the search engine(s) will generate only current, active pages of the website.

The core committee included Plate, Abdallah Haddad, Fadi Baroody, Jeff Case, Scott Mann, Anne Monk, Marty Parker, Brent Reser and Rob Wyeth.
