The Granbury ISD website has a new makeover.
As of June 27, anyone who visits granburyisd.org will now be met with a redesigned website that features several changes.
"It’s all the same content," said GISD Director of Communications Lissa Oliver. "Nothing changed, none of the information is new; it’s just a new look."
One of the major changes to the website is the looping video from May’s graduation that features Pirate Stadium and fireworks that is now displayed on the home page.
Another change, Oliver noted, is that each campus now has its own URL link online.
"How you get to the campus is very different because each campus has its own site, but it should be better for everybody," she said.
The district calendar is also on the home page now, and will feature every campus event, making it easier for parents and families to keep track of what's happening at GISD.
"You can download the calendar into your email and into your phone," Oliver added. "Everything you need to know about what is going on in the district is on that calendar. My mission here was to make everything plain and simple."
The logo on the website has also been redesigned, complete with a purple outline sketch of the clock tower from the Historic Hood County Courthouse over a yellow background with a purple wavy border on the bottom.
Oliver said the reasoning behind the new website is due to Blackboard (educational software) not offering school websites anymore.
"We had some options in companies, but all the districts that used Blackboard, everybody had to launch a new site," Oliver explained. "We just took it as an opportunity to refresh and organize everything."
According to the Granbury ISD website, throughout the summer, the district and campus websites will continue to be a work in progress as final revisions and updates are being made.
If anyone has any questions during the redesign process, they are urged to contact webmaster@granburyisd.org.
