This has the best navigation architecture I have ever seen on a higher ed website. It's not cluttered, content hierarchy is clear, colour palette is beautiful, and the layout grid is deliciously flexible. Excellent work.
I enjoyed the moving collage type thing at the top of the page, it does a good job telling the story of the school at a glance. My only concern is that it occupies a lot of space at the top of the page, pushing down the main content for those with smaller browser windows. Great site all in all though, I love the design and the information architecture is logically sound.
Just wanted to leave a note about the CMS on Puget Sound's new Website. We used BigTree CMS for the site, and it's now being managed quite well by Puget Sound's in house team. They are able to add new templates, pages and sectional with ease, and I believe they have over 200 users in the system now.
Beautiful graphics and unique layout. I was drawn to it at first, but layout doesn't seem to serve the content well, and the navigation seems to artificial and not organic to how users would try to surf the site.

Wonderful palette
Very nice site. What CMS did you use?
Nice job on taking an alternative approach!

Thanks for all the nice comments and observations, we are glad to see the site doing so well for such a wonderful client like Puget Sound.
Very unique approach - but there is so much going on. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to 'take away' from my visit.
Simply one of the best higher ed sites on the www.
very innovative and fresh; well done.
