University of Sussex Website |
1997
|
The first instance of the website that we have access to comes from 11th December 1997. A nice touch is the Sussex experts section, which gives a subject database of Sussex academics' specialities for easy access media requests. |
1999
|
The next iteration of the Sussex website looks more modern and features the first occurrence of The Pier; which was an internet directory with a variety of links out to useful sites and resources for Sussex students and staff. |
2001 |
The website front page is now refreshed and the The Pier has now been merged into the the Library website |
2004 |
The website becomes more visual as we go through time, with more pictures being added as internet speeds increase. This is evidenced by the panorama images in the Campus tour section of the site |
2009 |
The 2009 website is recognisable, as some design elements are still in operation certain parts of our current site in 2018. The University began promoting itself and sharing news on Twitter in early 2009 and had 1,691 followers by that September, currently there are over 67k followers! |
