Reverse Wireframe Creation for Chatham University's Homepage

Over the past couple of days, I've created a "reverse wireframe" for Chatham University's Homepage. This basically involved studying the structure of the page and replicating the main aspects of it in a "barebones" manner. The process is great practice for understanding the objectives and functionality of a Web page. Although the layout largely matches that of the current site, I modified the structure of some elements slightly (in order to be more realistic), For example, I left out the Princeton Review ad at the upper right, portrayed six left navigation categories instead of nine, four left footer links instead of five, etc. The process was very enlightening for me, and I definitely appreciate the role of the information architect more after this process! If you want to see more detail, you can view the full size wireframe.
