After a few longer workdays, finally the first stage of the 4M NOE's website re-design is finished.
It was interesting mainly from the communications point of view. I think I learned some things in that area. Otherwise the website is (somewhat) sectioned into four distinct areas. I really like the idea of having icons for them in the sidebar. From a visual point of view I like the distinct sidebar as well. It clearly separates the visual concerns - content and navigation/utilities.
Fair enough - there is a lot still to do:
- Cleaning up the code to be w3c verifiable.
- Testing in browsers, I have a sneaky feeling that IE is going to be a majour pain, make it work, or use the sections module for the admin interface.
- Streamlining the permissions
- Streamlining the use of the taxonomy system
- Writing more documentation
- Communicate, communicate, communicate
Still loads to do. Probably even during the Amsterdam experience.
