Finito!

Old Projects

The Fall 06 semester has delightfully come to a close! Our final Web projects were turned in about two weeks ago and it looks like everyone came really far with their design skills. As I mentioned before, there were a lot of things I wish I could have added to or improved on, but that would have been difficult considering the other classes I needed to focus on as well. Bring it on Spring!

New Projects

A gentleman I work with on campus recently inherited the Web site of an area lake association that he belongs to. Sadly, the previous owner passed it on in a severe state of disorganization and chaos. With limited knowledge of Web design and knowing that my friend Christie and I just finished our Communicating on the Net course, he's adopted our help. We're not great, but we don't charge anything :) . If you stumble upon this and check out the link, Gary is looking for any type of comments or opinions of what would look best/most professional for a lake association Web site. They have many members who use the site as a resource in their legal battle against Florida mining businesses to save their beloved lakes. As a beginner in this area, my question is basically what should set organizations' Web sites apart from, say, a small business or a law firm or something of that nature? Are there industry standards for this sort of thing, or does anything go? There's no doubt the site needs work, as Gary acknowledges, but at this point it seems that starting from scratch might work best to achieve a professional look.
