UF Web Administration summer conference

Posted: July 10, 2008

I have been working on a Web site for a summer conference the folks at my job are putting together for early August. It is called Summer of Web.

Summer of Web

A co-worker of mine, Al Kirby, designed the site in Photoshop, sent me the image and let me have at it. I did all of the mark up — javaScript, CSS and XHTML.

I learned a whole new way of designing Web sites by doing this small, one-pager. I found that you are almost completely unrestricted in terms of design once you have a firm grasp of the power of background images and position.

All in all, it was a very fun experience.

Launched almost simultaneously was the UF Web Admin’s new blog. I had much less to do with the production of this blog save for a few meetings where I gave my input. My duties regarding this product will likely come in the form of content. More on that later.

Check out the site, and check out the conference. It should be fun getting the whole UF Web community together for a half day. Worse comes to worse, the food is free.

Let me know what you think.
