The Cepead, Center for Post-Graduate Studies and Research on Administration - [UFMG - Brazil], launches this month of May your new Web site. The purpose of this change was to build an interface in a modern structure intuitive to use and also improve the process of updating and distribution of information.



With this new site the information has become accessible with a few clicks. A good example is the type of cascading menu, located at the top of the site, which allows access to any area with one click.



To improve the process of updating and dissemination of information the new version was developed on the platform free of CMS (Content Management System) Joomla!. The advantage of working with a CMS is the diversity of information and the differential that can be offered to the end user in a clear and objective.



It was conducted a study of the structure and the demand for upgrades by the team of web development along with the teachers responsible for the Center to find the best way to the new site.



The news site are for the account of the areas of focus, where the news will be inserted for greater expression, and the area of news that will make their items in order of date. Both area did not exist in previous site, which somehow delaying the display of important information.



A major challenge was to find a way to better organize the content so that future updates are intuitive and therefore easy to achieve.



The launch of this new site represents a bet on strengthening communication with all teachers, officials, students and the whole community built around the UFMG.
