Tips & tricks

New resource

Your website is essential for communicating with your audience. Check that you’re following our web best practices to ensure your work is polished, clear and accessible!


Sites in the spotlight

The following sections of the Concordia website are in full bloom:

  • Environmental Health & Safety boasts a subsite with its own navigation, making it easier to find important information. It also shines a brighter light on the gainful services offered outside of the university.
  • The Loyola College of Diversity and Sustainability's values on interdisciplinary connection shine in their redesigned site by presenting their programs and courses into two streams: diversity and sustainability. The site also highlights their annual research conference drawing hundreds from across the university.
  • The Department of Health, Kinesiology and Applied Physiology gets a breath of fresh air with its new website. A new research section highlights the faculty’s areas of expertise and includes a feed for external publications. Dynamic imagery shows the department’s teaching labs – and students at work.
  • Three of our top-level pages, About, Academics and Admissions, have gotten a design refresh with inspiring storytelling and clear call-to-actions for prospective students and community members.

En français : New sites in French

Trois sites Web maintenant disponibles en français

Dans le cadre de nos efforts continus pour offrir les sections clés de notre site Web en français, trois sites importants sont désormais accessibles dans cette langue. Le site de La recherche à Concordia soutient les chercheuses et chercheurs et met en valeur leurs travaux, tandis que le Service de santé, sécurité et environnement ainsi qu’Hospitalité Concordia offrent des services essentiels qui contribuent à la bonne marche de l’Université.

Assurez-vous de maintenir vos pages en français à jour et alignées avec les versions anglaises. N’hésitez pas à communiquer avec l’équipe Web si vous avez besoin d’aide pour la traduction.


On to new adventures, Brianna

The Web Team is saying farewell to beloved webmaster, Brianna Klint (BA 21). Brianna played a key role in bringing clarity and vibrancy to countless websites, notably in the transformation of the Graduation & Convocation site and in creating the School of Performance site. As a colleague, her warmth and positivity are deeply appreciated by all, and she’ll be missed greatly. Thank you for all that you’ve contributed to Concordia!
