Web Design Can Be Refreshing

Today is the day I submit my second official timesheet as an Oregon State University employee. To celebrate holding down a non-contract position, for longer than my average contract, I want to share what I am doing there in my ‘professional capacity.’ I have been tasked to re-design the look and feel of the Media Services website. This is the launchpad for any of the tech services that are provided to students and faculty at Oregon State.

Take a look at the current website:

Here are the proposed changes that I am presenting today:

If you can see the clear difference than you know that this is quite refreshing, so to speak. All of these changes will be made into a Drupal theme and developed by the Central Web Services department of Media Services. In this case, I really am just a tracer.

I’ve been working with Joomla for the past year and while I love the structure of it, and how powerful it is, it’s like using a Ford F-150 Twin Cab as your daily driver.

I installed WordPress + Equix over at my other pet project SunSolo and just fell in love with how easy it was to put up a header image and some words. I spent at least two-to-three weeks making my own custom Joomla template for the old skycorbett.com site and that’s just to bring it up to the point where the front page looks good.

I have high hopes for WordPress and I expect that there will be more words and less hassle. Like a sports car that can only take carry-on luggage, I want to spend more time on the road.
