Latest updates from the digital communications team and useful articles and resources relating to digital best practice for October 2021.

Staff and students redesign

The current staff, current students and current postgraduates landing pages have been redesigned and migrated over to T4 (new design).

Digital communications staff update

In the last month Jennifer Hamrick and David Kindness have left the Digital Communications team to move onto pastures new. Both Jenny and David were valued members of the team and will be missed by our team and the wider University.

Digital visa pause

As Jennifer was our lead trainer we have made the decision to pause the digital visa. If you require writing for the web training please contact digitalcommunications@st-andrews.ac.uk and we will be happy to help.

University search moving to Squiz

Funnelback, the software used to provide search results on the University website, is currently managed in-house. It is now going to looked after by Squiz, the company who develop Funnelback, so we can take advantage of updated software and improved functionality. In due course this will enable us to improve search results on the website.
