Today we're unveiling the new homepage for www.bentley.edu. As you explore and become familiar with the new homepage, you may notice some of our new features, described below:
The Splash Graphic (and slideshow)
Bentley has some big stories to tell. The homepage now features a suitable platform to tell them. If our previous homepage was heavy on text, this new 'splash' graphic is a visual story-telling device that gives our homepage a greater sense of focus and emphasis.
The slide show buttons (below the picture) give visitors access to a wide variety of Bentley's key messages. The slides will change over time. Please send your ideas for homepage slides and bulletins to CollagePublishing@bentley.edu.

2) Reorder your Favorite Content Boxes
You can change the order on the page of the content boxes. By dragging and dropping the Move icon (on the right side of the title bar of each box), you can move the box above or below another box. Here's a visual demo (no sound) that shows how it works:
