New Website Done

Just finished the website for Harvard College Consulting Group (http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/hccg/).

Pretty straightforward website, simple CSS-based div design, with PHP calling the header, top menu, left menu, and footer. Google analytics integrated in the footer, and both the CSS and XHTML validated with W3C the first try!

Most importantly, it should be amazingly easy to edit for future classes of Harvard consultants! Just have to modify the page in question, and there’s a clearly visible div called “content.” Everything ugly is hidden in the PHP headers and footer. Yay for bloat-free, non-CMS websites!

Website Done (Basically)

Filed under: CodingTags: , , , , — darrenhe @ 12:20 PM

After finishing a redesign of the website, I decided to transfer my theme to a Joomla! CMS so that other people could easily make changes to the site content. This basically required a reimplementation of everything I had done already. But it also allowed me to take advantage of more advanced components, modules, and plugins that have been designed for Joomla! I unveil it to the senior class committee on Thursday – I hope it find and fix any last remaining bugs before then!
