Submission Comments

I launched the newest site for Allegheny College in February 2004, using CSS, XHTML, no tables, and much more. It's been a great success - apps are up and so is awareness of the power of the web in not only recruiting prospective students, but reaching out to alumni, parents, and the community. We also recently launched the first Podcast run by the marketing arm of a college, to great success as well. - Mike Richwalsky

Editor's Comments

Allegheny College's website is notable because to the school's knowledge, it was the the first college to offer a tableless, CSS design while also conforming to valid XHTML and CSS.

We enjoyed the tabbed, DOM-based navigation on the home page for its ease of use and speed. Many college and university sites rely on the audience (e.g. parent, alumni, etc...) and global (admissions, academics, etc...) menus being separated into two navigation elements. Combining the two into one task-based menu makes it easy for the user.

+ Valid XHTML
+ Valid CSS
+ Tableless CSS
+ Section 508
