It has been a while since I posted about recent site launches. It's not because we have been sitting on our hands but the project we have been launching have been forms, emails and other internal projects. Although we have launched some smaller sites I wanted to keep you all updated on the public facing ones. So here they are.

Spring/Summer Classes

Basically a landing page for all the marketing material to get student to take classes in the summer. It sums up  the semesters available and the deadlines to register. It also breaks down the type of student and how to take the next step. In addition, promoting our campus options, we are not just located in downtown Detroit. This year we also added a promotional item for the K-12 Summer Programs.

Living Detroit

We did not actually program this site but consulted, designed and helped the project along. It is a MediaWiki based site that our Honors College maintains to collect the timeline and stories of Detroit. Contribution to the site is part of the honors curriculum and it is open to the public. The homepage will feature highlighted people, places or things. The site is broken down into past, present and future. With the partnership of organizations and throughout Detroit the content possibilities for this site are endless.

Children's Bridge

We took the existing Children's Bridge Web site and merged it with the Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute Web site. This was interesting because now the site has two navigations. The focus of the site is the research database, it allows anyone to search on any number of topics and get all necessary information about the faculty member who is running it. The tone and images on the site are all of children and the colors are soft.
