New Postgraduate Education Website Launched

Its the second week in January and right in the middle of the storm arises this sexy new website. From the first meeting in august 2010 until its launch yesterday much water flow down the Maas. Many meetings and re-dos where needed to make it look like it is now. In addition to an inferior web content management system that masters even the "not so grim" minded person it was a challenge that was faced by brave men and woman from the postgraduate education unit.
As for the website there are few things to remark. I already spoke about it at a webco meeting and for the most part of it nothing has changed so far. The word "website" is misleading because it is in fact an online product and service catalog with no interactive features nor engaging design. Its rather slim and focuses on the basics. It features an clickable graphic on the front, a google calendar and some webforms used as contact or simple data-mining systems. In addition with the core website a weblog, twitter, facebook and linkedIn channel are also part of this enterprise. It was by far the most incomprehensible and plainly ugly part of SBE's web performance. So it was more than necessary to update it by redoing the whole thing.
But lets move to the important part. I am now redirecting purchased URL's for all Executive Master, MBA, Management courses and whatever PGE concerns. If you have purchased a URL for your program please let me know so I can redirect it to the new website! Here is a quick list of things that have been done:

This are just some of the specifics. More will come in the days to come. So please let me know if you have any URL's that need to be redirected. Currently I use a trick to redirect visitors of the old PGE pages automatically to the new version of the pages. But this trick will not do it forever since I will delete the old files in the months to come. So please help!
