| USITT Launches Improved Website |
Visitors to www.usitt.org have always found a huge amount of news and information about the organization, its affiliates, and the industry.
Now, after a complete redesign, all of that material is easier to find and sports a clean, fresh look.
Bruce Brockman, USITT President said “One of my goals has been to update the appearance of the Institute's many public documents, while keeping the useful information they contain easily accessible to our members and many visitors.
“This refurbished web site is part of that effort. It is organized around three main areas to help users answer their questions about USITT: What is the Institute; What are USITT's major activities; and How to join and support USITT.”
Each question is answered directly from the new main page, which also includes links to pages that provide more detail.
The newly-freshened web look includes features designed for ease of navigation, including a “search the site” area which will allow both members and visitors to find answers to their questions more easily.
Plan to visit the site after its official launch on June 1, and take a few minutes becoming more familiar with all that USITT has to offer its members and guests.
