Debakey High School
Debakey High School for Health Professions is one of Houston's most prestigious schools, and it needed a site to match its reputation. My task was to customize the Drupal CMS to the needs of the users, maintain a consistent color scheme and branding, integrate third-party tools such as Google Calendars and Twitter RSS feeds, and have it all work seamlessly together.
Jobs: XHTML, CSS, Javascript, design and structure, navigation architecture, PHP, RSS integration, social networking integration, graphic elements
Tools used: Drupal CMS, TextWrangler, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Twitter, Facebook, Google Calendar, IE6, 7, and 8 (for site testing)
Global Medical Connexions (2)
Global Medical Connexions needed a massive expansion of the amount of information on their site, and added functionality as well. I designed a small several-page site for them a few months ago, and borrowed some elements of that site. The real challenge was designing a simple system for their clients to log in and find updated information, and to present specefic information to different clients. The open-source CMS Drupal does this work very well. (In ongoing development.)
Jobs: Design, information design, HTML, CSS, PHP, copywriting
Tools used: Drupal CMS, BBEdit, Photoshop, Illustrator, IE6, 7, and 8 (for site testing)
