PUPWebSite is the official website and portal of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. It serves as an effective medium to reach out to an interconnected world, giving the online community better access to University information, activities, news and insights.
We never expected that PUPWebSite would go on a long way since it only started as a college feasibility project. It has been an experience getting this site into what it is today and we want to share those experiences with you, so perhaps you'll be able to apply them as you build and manage your own website.
When the PUPWebSite project initially launched in 1998, it was designed only to display basic information about the University. The site was then hosted at GeoCities having 8MB of HTML documents and image files. As the site took off in 1999, more and more responses and requests began filling its online guestbook. In the later months, a number of pages containing relevant information about the University were added.
Today, PUPWebSite continues to evolve dramatically as it gives its visitors information that is relevant and useful to them and the website and its social network channels has matured into one of the University's most important medium for information dissemination. Our visitors send us feedback through email or the website survey. That information helps us focus on what content and features to further develop for an improved PUPWebSite experience.
The name is stylized as "PUPWebSite" in reference to its original name back in 1998 and also to create a unique blend with a touch of novelty.
PUPWebSite 10 (codename steorralēoht) is so far the best online presentation of the University's branding and service offerings. You will notice a modern and professional design with functionality, ease-of-use, accessibility and service in mind, with focus on the clients of the University. It is built using the latest Web Standards (HTML5, CSS3) and applies a Responsive Web Design (RWD) approach which is aimed at providing an optimal viewing experience - easy reading and navigation - across a wide range of devices (from mobile devices to desktop computer monitors). Since PUPWebSite 9, we are among the first Philippine university websites that utilizes RWD technology.
