Progress as of 7 March 2014

Finished:
  • Draft of home page design
  • Drafts of next tier pages:
    • Simple info page can be used for many current pages, e.g., gen-info or faqs
    • Simple info page for Know How / Information Literacy
      • Using the Know How logo on the left sidebar
    • Longer page information
      • Multiple columns looks too busy.
      • If not multi-columned, pages are too long for new look.
      • Longer pages like DL and other sites (ECS, Centers, etc.) often repeat information that already exists.
        • Suggest linking to the info rather than repeating.
        • Can create a print-friendly page with all the linked info on it.
  • Created a footer to be used on every page.
  • Created pertinent CSS to make everything work.
  • Created standard "includes" files:
    • header-home (for home page only)
    • header-next (for all next tier pages)
    • navbar (to be included on all pages)
    • footer-LS (to be included on all pages)
To Do Next:

For week after Spring Break
  • Create a draft print-friendly page example for long pages.
  • Make all draft example pages comply with includes, etc.
  • Pull into a directory for test groups to look at (LS Web Team right now)
    • Create a launch page explaining Responsive design and what we should look for.
    • Gather suggestion for links to add or delete
      • navbar / footer (exception Services which has reached its workable length)
      • content for different sections on the home page (exceptions Overview which is a section that will toggle with alerts, announcements, etc.)
For People Responsible for Page Content by end of March
  • Create  a document template to illustrate where their input might go.
  • Create directory/folder structure for them to see.
  • Create a  pathway/process for input to be given to Web Team.
