Design, structure and control system of university website has been changed many times (2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2014) during the whole period of its existence. We have analysed the structure and content of leading European and American universities to create a website according to the best world principles. The conducted monitoring has showed the necessity of functional approach which provided quick acess to all information resources of the website. That is why we have developed new structure and control system for the university website which is in test and modification now.
