Indiana University Foundation
With a team of people I helped to redesigned and rebuild the Indiana University Foundation (IUF) web site from the ground up. This took us approximately one year to accomplish and involved several different things. In the beginning of the projected we started by taking a look at the current content of the web site and creating a new site map to better organize the information that existed. After this step wire frame models were created and than passed along to a designer who created mockups in Adobe Photoshop that lead to HTML mockups. After the HTML mockups were created we had an outside organize do usability testing. The next step was to incorporate the feed back into the design and start building the web site. The new IUF web site was built using a text editor and Adobe Dreamweaver.

Indiana University Student Foundation
This website was recently rebuilt using CSS, XML, and XHTML to be used within the Cascade Server a content management system (CMS). Prior to rebuilding the website the information architecture of the site was reorganized to make it easy for people to find what they where looking for. After rebuilding the site it was incorporated into the CMS, so members of the student foundation could update content without having to know HTML. Part of this process has involved teaching people how to the CMS and creating short training videos that have been made available on YouTube.
