Noticed a new site layout for ucdavis.edu . To be honest, not very fond of the "modern" feel. I prefer a more traditional top navigation menu. That said, I do like the single call to action to submit applications. Seems to be an initiative the university is pursuing. Just think we can accomplish the same task with a layout that's easier to navigate and looks more professional. My 2 cents.
Looks great on mobile and that’s where most people access the Internet. Hence the change to AST too. But yeah, I get it, not too fond of the desktop layout.
