The web site of the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture (UTSOA) serves the current students, faculty, and staff by providing information on the School's eight program areas in addition to current news, calendar items, course listings, and related University information. The site provides program information and contacts for prospective students. Alumni are also frequent visitors to the site for news and career guidance.
I was hired in January 2005 to overhaul and redesign the School's entire site. After interviewing representative members from each part of the site's audience, I developed a navigation scheme that highlights the many parts of the School to the user in a quick glance.
In December 2007 I launched a small redesign that changed the colors of the original design and incorporated three satellite sites back into the main site. Also, I developed and deployed a content management system that gives staff and faculty the ability to edit and update site pages and upload images. The CMS was developed in CakePHP and uses TinyMCE for formatting page text.
