Rocky Mountain Academy Preschool
|
Rocky Mountain Academy Preschool is a public charter school. The main K-8 charter school updated their logo and website in the spring of 2011. The Preschool was not included in the re-design, so the preschool director needed assistance with updating their website. The website is housed by the Jefferson County Public School content managment system.
Website Improvements:
- Created a new look and feel to stay consistent with the RMAE K-8 re-design.
- Improved navigation of the site by consolidating
menu items and utilizing sub-menus.
- Simplified an overwhelming home page by reorganizing information into menus.
- Assisted admins with including photos from activities.
- Consulted with admins to assist them with the transition to a new content management system, allowing them to make updates to the site themselves.

Notre Dame Club of Denver
|
The Notre Dame Club
of Denver is an active alumni club. Their main communications tool
is their website. However, because the site is updated by multiple
volunteers, continuity and housekeeping suffered. There were many
dead links, and the back-end organization was haphazard. The site was redesigned in
User Experience Improvements:
- Improved organization of the site by consolidating the
menu items, and aligning them with the Club's guiding principals.
- Ensured all pages were up to date, and removed any dead
links
- Redesigned the home page to a 4-column layout. Included
only current news items to create a managable page length.
- Changed layout of the Calendar of Events page to be a
list rather than a calendar format. This allowed easy viewing
of more than one month's events.
Back-End Organization Improvements:
- Created a directory structure that mirrored the menu structure
for better organizaton of files.
- Removed thousands of orphaned pages and images.
- Compressed current pictures for faster download.
- Created DreamWeaver templates and established cascading
stylesheets (CSS) for consistent pages, even with multiple
people doing site updates.
- Established file naming convensions for easier identification
of files and systematic cleanup.
- Created a Styleguide for all web administrator volunteers.

- Net@work Business Unit Site
|
The Net@Work
is the official intranet home page for the corporate banking department
of a large bank. The site grew from a small informational site
updated weekly, to an essential communication tool that publishes
two to four news articles daily and is a portal to information and
resources important to the GCIB business associate. First conceived
in 1994 as a news publication, the Net@Work grew and was embraced
by executive management as the official communication channel for
GCIB with a target audience of an estimated 20,000 associates.
In response to multiple requests by business units for developing
departmental web sites, a site template was developed to efficiently
produce sub-sites of the Net@Work. Twelve sites were developed
maintaining a consistent look and feel, and requiring half the development
time.

NewsFactory
|
Stemming
from a need to more efficiently and cost effectively update news articles
to the bank's intranet sites, I envisioned, created, designed and
led development and implementation efforts of a content management
application, NewsFactory. The application allowed news editors to
log in and enter, update and schedule publication of news articles
to multiple intranet sites. The implementation resulted in a
70% reduction of maintenance costs, exceeding projections.

Commercial Banking
Sites

The Commercial
Bank of Knowledge (CBK) is the official intranet home page for the

modeled after the corporate banking site, Net@Work, and also expanded

an essential communication tool for the Commercial Banking business
associate.
The Commercial Finance site was also a departmental intranet site
geared toward sharing information with their business associates.
Though the screen shot provided is a composite, the site did go into
production.
