The new site has much quicker load times and a deeper feature set. The homepage highlights student involvement through a slideshow rotation of hi res student photos.

The slideshow is complemented by a calendar of events, conveying the packed schedule of the school, a video gallery that shows a visual summary of the school, and a news feed for up-to date information.

To build the site, NMC worked with the design firm Dale Design, acting as an interactive partner for the design firm, bringing the design to life and equipping it with NMC's Content Management System.

"They wanted the site to be a tool for all of their audiences," said project manager Clay Schossow. "The school is about the students, yes, but it's also about the teachers, faculty and staff."

The site's different areas are clearly laid out in the sidebar navigation. In addition to students, teachers, faculty and staff, there are areas for the school's alumni, athletics and admissions.

With this project, NMC expands its educational web design projects into the elementary, middle and high school realm.

New Media Campaigns revamped the organization's website, focusing on visual imagery to instantly engage potential and current majors and encourage them to delve further into the department. The site is coded on New Media Campaigns' proprietary content management software, allowing the department to post relevant news, update a monthly calendar, and highlight faculty members' biographies.

After being built on New Media's test servers, the company worked with the University's IT department to transition onto their servers. The homepage features a a news feed from both UNC's Geology Department and also from the popular geology website, geology.com. 

"We love working with Universities," said project manager Alex Pomer. "Not only are we involved with thought leaders in their field, but we're helping progress education facilities in the area."

The site's homepage prominently features two calls to action, a company blog, a simplified company descritption and a news feed. The calls to action, an opportunity to see a demo or join their beta, lead visitors to forms where they can fill out contact information, allowing CloudSwitch to build their potential client base.

NMC's proprietary content management system has allowed CloudSwitch to easily scale up content and offerings as the company has quickly grown and expanded its products.

The company's blog posts are conveniently organized by both category and date, allowing visitors to read about not only the most recent news, but also the areas that interest them the most. Visitors are also invited to share the posts on common networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Digg, and others.

"For us it's all about giving the client control," said project manager Clay Schossow. "The more control the client has over their site, the better they can leverage the web as a business tool."

Lead developer Joel Sutherland's tutorial and plugin for an interactive and filterable portfolio has been featured in such blogs as CoryMathews.com and Web Designer online as well as inSpecky Boy Design Magazine. Authors were impressed by the seamless transitions between categories and the effect it creates for portfolios.  The posts have also cumulatively earned more than 100 comments on the New Media Campaigns web development blog.

Smashing Magazine also featured New Media's work in their article on Ajax and Javascript techniques. The interactive map created for the NC Marine Science website was mentioned for its ability to engage through smooth animations and crisp graphics. Smashing Magazine also highlighted Sutherland's development of a jQuery plugin for CSS Sprites.
