Standard Site Roadmap
Over the last year, our Web Services Team developed a phased approach to implementing updates and additions to our Drupal Standard Website template. This included enhancements to our Newsletter Content type to provide users with more options for displaying content, the addition of the BUX Hero Image options and a UX/UI refresh of the Filters in content types using this feature. We also completed styling updates throughout the template to achieve visual alignment with the Buckeye UX (BUX) Design System. Upcoming is a UX/UI design refresh for News and Events.
As we move forward, we are adopting a quarterly approach to managing updates. We continue to work with our website advisory group and base our roadmap planning on their feedback, along with college priorities and internal resource considerations.
We will continue to update this page with details and next steps. If you have any questions, please contact ascwebservices@osu.edu.
