Abstract

Among the prophecies of the past few years in the field of ITC, the word mobile is the order of the day. The Web as we, the generation X, know it, has changed under the pressure of mobile devices. We present concepts and recent trends in website design that have been developed to keep pace with the widespread use of mobile devices, in the context of the evolution of software and infrastructure technologies, Web design, but also of the changes in user behavior reported worldwide that have also manifested on a faculty website. Starting from Google's figures regarding mobile access, we bring forth specific concepts and approaches. This paper aims to be a framework for those who want to reconsider their presence online through websites tailored to these tendencies and to be a starting point for redesigning the website and its related web pages to meet the needs of new generations, all in accordance with the mission of the institution it represents.
