Tuesday's Undergraduate Student Association Council meeting started with a special presentation by the director of Web, Emerson Taymor from the Campus Events Commission.
He requested total of $1,500-$2,000 to overhaul the current USAC Web site's design and content.
Taymor said that the student government Web site had problems including outdated design aesthetics, unclear and illegible navigation bars and inconvenient pop-ups.
Taymor said that hopes to improve the Web site's design, make navigation easier and purchase a content management system, a software tool that helps managing the content easier.
"Web usability is about making your Web site in such a way that your site users can find what they're looking for quickly and efficiently," Taymor said.
After being asked by council when the improved Web site will be up, Taymor said that the overhaul process will be done before elections so students can get information about the upcoming spring election candidates and the overall election process.
The council will decide later whether to allocate the money to a new Web site or not.
