49er Communications

As part of a California State University (CSU) wide effort to bring all CSU websites into section 508 compliance I was assigned to correct over 3,000 files in the news portal. These files were published over the last ten years and were written to a wide range of standards. The project required almost 400,000 corrections, to bring these files into compliance. This was accomplished in a little under 3 business days, using AccMonitor from HighSoft, Macromedia Dreamweaver, and the Web Developer toolbar for Firefox. I would have liked to bring these pages up to XHTML strict standards, but with a new CMS pending it wasn't practical.

Sacramento State University Seen On Campus photo gallery
As a part time Web developer for the university I built this replacement for the Seen On Campus photo gallery. This is a flash simple viewer with a custom template built with a custom Picasa 2 plugin. The real work was in the Picasa 2 plugin, which further simplifies gallery creation and caption entry. I am currently working on a rewrite for the PHP server side gallery generator for another client. The gallery will be presented to the director of electronic communications May 21, 2007, so you can see it before he even has a chance to decide whether to use it or not.

St. Andrew Presbyterian Church.
As the winner of the February free website giveaway St. Andrew received a new site built on the completely redesigned Web Witness Content Management System (CMS). The new CMS features support for multiple blogs, e-commerce, RSS feeds, and a new streamlined design. The website now has only one page to view all of the content data and one to administer the site. Similarly two pages manage all of the blog sites. This was a quite large project with about 75 content pages built into the database. Though St. Andrew didn't opt to use all of the new features, I hope to put them all to use on a project in the near future. One new features on this site is the photo gallery. Built on simple viewer this flash application integrated well with the new CMS. Other new features include one click page generation, and easy menu editing. The site has not been turned over to St. Andrew yet due scheduling conflicts, but they will attend a 3 hour training and take over the site the first week of July. They are eager, and I have full confidence that anyone with 3 hours of training can maintain a site built on this new CMS. I predict that this site will be well maintained.

Sacramento State University Commencement
built this spring's commencement website. Much of the graphics are from the university's identity package and are not my own creation. My part was to assemble the varied parts into a appealing site and create or alter any additional graphics that were required.

Sacramento State Magazine Spring 2007 edition 
I was supposed to have a lot of leeway in the design of this site, but after completing about a third of the pages for this edition of the magazine other priorities came up in the office and it went incomplete well past its original due date. Eventually I was told to just get something up on the net. The first pages completed look quite nice, while the others look like the rush job they were (for example I had less than an hour to add navigation to all of the pages). The real challenge to this assignment was that I was given only paper copy of the magazine and a partially locked PDF version (the only images were the few I could get out of the PDF)
