FAQ 2• Why is consistency among the depts important?

– Easier for prospective students to navigate and find information

• How can we showcase our creativity, given the focus on consistency?– Link from the dept home page to pages created

outside of the CMS (suggested for advanced users only, consistent header and footer req.)

– Include video, pictures, and flash within the pages
