University web sites
This page summarizes my contributions to department/program web sites at the University of Illinois. This role started as a visual design position and evolved to include frontend coding, client communication, and project management.
Web development/design for a state institution presents a unique set of challenges, as accessibility compliance is required by law. All of our sites were also cross-browser compliant to as far back as IE7. The University also had strict identity adherence standards.
Underpinning the structure of all our sites was the need for a robust CMS, not only in site content editing but also in the integration of user-edited biographical directory system for faculty and staff.
