Working steps (1)
• Step 1: benchmarking (Italian and international university
web sites) using a survey form
• Step 2: classification of different existing patterns about: • home page• navigation menu• coordination central site/peripheral structures web pages
• Step 3: interaction with ICT Division (InfoSapienza) for
technological aspects (Cms)

Goals:
• To increase communicative power and emotional
impact
• To reduce cognitive complexity
• To comply with the generalist connotation of our
university (in the meaning of presence of a variety of
disciplines, taught and researched)

Choices:
• Prevalence of images and graphics, reduction of the
text component
• Whole Screen Horizontally Extended lay out
• Vertically Fixed lay out (to avoid the so called “below the line”)
• Explicit navigation map

The Navigation menu
• Goal: to take into account the different audiences that
interact with the web site
• Proposal: to build navigation paths both for target users
and for functions
![Page 13: Work on the correlation between Central site and Peripheral sites](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051716/58a2bdfc1a28aba5548b4df0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Work on the correlation between Central site and Peripheral sites (faculties, departments, etc)

Central site and peripheral sites
• Analysis: a specific survey showed a great deal of heterogeneity in
content, style, and function.
Very often the contents do not respond to dictates (Italian law
expressly specify the compulsory contents of the PA web sites).
• Goals: to avoid compartmentalization, to promote correlation
between sites and to build consistent navigation paths

How to proceed: final operational proposal
The Web Editorial Board:
• has indicated the Cineca (an interuniversity consortium) as
the most appropriate technical partner to carry out the project
• has suggested to proceed with an internal call to search for
professional resources in order to create a coordinated
working group
• has asked to identify one or more mother toungue editors /
translators for deployment and update of the English version
of the web site
