The guys of the Computer Center have made a good job, after the more-than-six-months beta test, the new website of JUST has been officially launched : A cutting edge look, better performance and more functionality!

If you are a JUST student and you enter www.just.edu.jo on your web browser you will get a surprise, the old ugly site of Jordan University of Science and Technology changed look definitely, it has been replaced by a new site with a better choice of colors, styles and an enhanced functionality. The user-friendly interface provides two menus, the one on the top with services for students, alumni and visitors, and the right one for academic services, this one changes as you visit different sections of the site.

Based on ASP.NET technology, with a relevant utilization of AJAX features, the new site offers some newer technologies and, for sure, a more innovative design compared with the previous site, however there are a few things I think the Computer Center should work on:

1- The Arabic website, and most of the sections in Arabic are under construction.
2- Some pages on English website are in Arabic, I don't know why.
3- The documents are in .doc format rather than .pdf (I know that Micro$oft rules there, but PDF is a standard)
4- Some broken links (Ouch!).
5- New features must be added to the library page (e.g a student can see when a book's loan period ends)
6- Please make a really interactive map or something similar to a GIS, all maps on the current site are unhelpful.
7- CHANGE THE REGISTRATION SITE NOW!!.

I promise that I'll carry these points to the Computer Center (I'm in good relations with them), and if anyone has a suggestion leave a comment :)

These are some random photos on the home page, they show how JUST student are proud of their university :)

Labels: ,

They finally did something decent!!! I hope they got rid of the habit of developing mis-functional, vulnerable, easy-to-penetrate, miserable looking, registration systems.

I hope that abed! The good thing is that Web Design dept in the center has recent graduates with new ideas.. but the other departments do not have the same creativity or sense of innovation :(

Issa, this is not related to this post. But I was quite impressed with the look of your blog. keep up the good work.

Thanks Shifaa, by the way I'm a regular reader of your blog.

I worked there for 4 months, and I'm very disappointment.

Practically every employee there is employed by wasta!! Their work is anything but professional and they are a big source of money waste.

You're right! Do you know for example that the guy who was designing our old sites do not know anything about HTML, he told me that he is "specialized" "only" in ORACLE !?!
Well, if you worked there you know who I'm talking about ;)
