Congratulations go out to the small web team here at UVic on the launch of UVic.ca!
For the last 7 months or so I have been heavily involved in the creation of the University of Victoria’s website Redesign. This site is the culmination of months or research and many months of development.
Our small team did a fantastic job tying it all together and creating something dynamic and energizing for external audiences, and something that’s fresh and organized for internal staff, faculty and students.
Working on the site was a small agile team of one information architect, one graphic designer, several content writers, a couple back end developers, one front end developer (me), one guy trying to organize it and an entire university of 25,000 staff students and faculty suggesting how it could be improved.
Working on the project allowed me to focus on polishing the “save the president” style of site structure (modular and recursive horizontal pancake divs and one center div inside each of those) and I was able to better develop a cohesive CSS system that allows for a more plug-and-play style of recursive site structure - this was inspired the the modular system that was created for uni-form and adapted, scaled up and expanded upon to include everything a web developer could need, including uni-form. I’ll get into this one later when my head isn’t filled with sleep.
Anyhow. Big congratulations on a successful launch!
