Date Launched:
Thursday, January 5, 2012
Design / Development Notes:
This redevelopment of the Avanti Ministries website was completed in WordPress. There are some really neat feature of this website, including the ability to instantly translate the site into a number of different languages. Avanti now has their entire web presence in one place. In the past, the web presence was in a number of different places. This will allow Avanti to concentrate their efforts in one online location that connects to their social media presence. There is a great store presence on this site, allowing the user to search for items by product category.

This website is a redevelopment and a re-branding of The Entrepreneur School website. This site was completed in WordPress and greatly simplifies the process for everyone, administrator and client. Beneath the clean exterior is a robust interior consisting of a membership and payment feature. Students can sign up for the School for Startups and watch a number of different videos. The biggest improvement on this website is that all videos can now be played on the iPhone and iPad. Learning has truly gone mobile.

For this website, I made use of a number of tools to enhance the search capabilities on the website. This website lists a number of books and chapters available for purchase. Each book contains different authors and subject categories. The books can be listed by author, by category, or a mix of the two.

Redesign – Thursday, April 21, 2011
Original Design – October 1, 2010
Design / Development Notes:
HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, JQuery, Cascade Content Management System
Website Notes:
This is the biggest project that I have worked on. It was a two-part project. The first part was a complete site restructure where a new sitemap was generated to create a better user experience navigating through the website. Here, the expertise of Josh Willis was used to create a structure where every Department and School program could be reached from the home page of the website. Before this, only 3 departments were accessible from the Bouve home page.
The second part was the design. I tried to focus on a simple design template that could be used for each page of the website. There are a number of different content formats that needed to fit within the main content area of each page. One example of this is the faculty pages. For these pages, I worked with Craig Cocca of Threemagination who created the entire faculty database and code to allow for a dynamic, image-centric solution within the Cascade Content Management System. This was a very enjoyable project as design, development, and website architecture were all required to create a user-friendly solution.
Update
In April 2011, the redesigned version of the Bouvé College of Health Sciences website was launched. We made updates to the Home Page and to the Main Navigation. I worked closely with Bouvé staff and an outside consultant on the project. The home page used to contain Flash elements that did not work on mobile Apple products. The new slideshow on the home page is JavaScript-based and works on mobile devices. The menu also has a lighter feel. I used JQuery to soften the approach and have the menu roll out instead of drop immediately. I also changed it from dark grey and red to a transparent white background, providing a lighter feel for the website.

What I Learned:
I did a complete redevelopment of this website from a one page website to a fully functional website and blog. I created an area for all students who are MBA students in this program to be able to blog. Each student’s blog shows up on the main page of the website. And the blog is also set up to be searchable by category, author, and tag. I also included a section for student created videos. The thinking behind this website was to have it contain information created by the actual students.
