The Cerritos College home Web site has been modified and is now more user-friendly, with the help of “Google Translate,” transforms the page to Spanish, Korean and Chinese.

“We changed the design to improve the presentation of our brand, Cerritos College, and improve the top level navigation for our students and our constituents.” said  Webmaster, Ty Bowman.

“I am very excited and satisfied with the new design, it is more colorful and attractive,” Oscar Franco, ASCC president, expressed about the recent change to cerritos.edu.

The new Web site, with the same address, is organized and features columns with drop down links which keeps the clutter away.

A lot of students have already noticed the change and are impressed, “It is very neat, and easy to get around,” expressed english major, Micheal Roberttson.

The old Web site was cluttered all around whereas the new features include categorized tabs aiming at efficiency while being on the cerritos.edu.

Plans for the new design came into effect late 2008 and early 2009 after “web administration realized the need to update the design and prioritize content by re-organizing the page,” explained Samuel Chavez, program assistant, to Campus Connect.

Instead of lurking around trying to find a link to the information you want, the new website’s layout takes all the links and organizes them.

The layout puts the links into three major columns, one for students which lists services offered including admissions where MyCerritos can be found. 

The middle column puts a spotlight on Cerritos College and includes a calender tab, media tab, and success stories about past Cerritos alumni.

The third one is a campus guide with links to parking, employment, faculty and staff.

It also has links to make the font bigger or smaller to accommodate to your view.  

Shawn Adams, teaching major is one of the few not impressed with the new desing, ” I don’t like it, I was barely gettign used to the old one, I don’t like change.”

Cerritos.edu is aimed at making it easier for students to log on and check for new updates on Cerritos.

The Web site can be used to register, sign up for classes and check for calender events.
