A Little History

On July 31, 2008, a comprehensive W&M website was launched with a new information architecture, new design, new writing, new photography and was published using Cascade Server, a new web content management system.
W&M News offers a look back at previous W&M web designs.
In March 2012, a refreshed W&M homepage was introduced using modern design, more contrast, responsive design technology, added content and new features.
In July 2013, the entire W&M website was made responsive, making it more accessible on any device.
In February 2015, a new design for the W&M website was released to reflect the university's new visual identity, prominently incorporating W&M's primary logo.
In July 2020, a new homepage and secondary page design was launched. The new design for secondary pages enabled them to support current content as well as begin a phased approach to page redesigns using new full-width rows and page templates. In addition, a new People of W&M section was released.
In November 2024, a new homepage was launched that includes prominent admission call-to-action links, a larger video presentation, an admission-focused section with photography featuring students, curated images from W&M’s Instagram feed, and redesigned rows highlighting key university statistics and academic programs.
In May 2025, the university kicked off a Digital Footprint project to reimagine the university's web presence. The first major step in the project includes a content review and cleanup to be completed by December 2025.
