2025 Web Redesign Transition

New website templates are being introduced for 2025. Not all information in the UMB Website Manual has been updated yet, and may still refer to the pre-2025 templates.

Who needs to know about what you do, what you offer, and/or what information you provide? Why are people coming to your website? What do they need? Who is directly impacted by the performance of your site?

Consider these example audiences, why they might come to your site, and what they might expect or hope to find there. Not all of these audiences will be applicable to your content. You may have several audiences.
