People Finder redesigned
Jun. 2, 2010—We collaborated with MIS (Management Information Systems) on this minimalistic redesign. At this time, it wasn’t possible to update any of the functionality of People Finder, but we could apply a new look (reskinning is the word we used). All of the data display areas (search results, individual record display, departmental display, etc.) use the...
University Calendar redesigned
May. 18, 2010—The University Calendar is all up-to-date (get it?) with a look that matches the just-launched homepage. We changed the homepage to show all of today’s events (previously, it just showed highlighted events, with an option to view all – confusing). We didn’t change the functionality or the back end of the Calendar – the data...
Logins page
May. 18, 2010—As part of the new website – we expanded upon an old student web applications page that listed the top login pages students used.

Disciplines and Majors database and site launched
May. 17, 2010—A frequent request of prospective students and many across the campus was to have a centralized source of all disciplines and majors available for students at Vanderbilt. Rather than start from scratch, we approached the Vanderbilt Institutional Research Group (VIRG) to see if we could collaborate with them on creating such a tool. VIRG already...

May. 17, 2010—The Provost site was previously maintained manually. We moved all the content into WordPress, applied the Vanderbilt WordPress theme, and went live.

Reunion website launched
Mar. 21, 2010—We assisted DAR Communications in the redesign and development of the Reunion website. The site is a combo of wordpress pages and custom php/mysql scripts.

Center for Latin American Studies website launched
Mar. 16, 2010—The Center for Latin American Studies wanted to make their site easier to update. They also wanted to have consistency in fonts and page layout. Another item on their wishlist was for a new navigation that would get visitors to their content as quickly and easily as possible. We solved all these problems by migrating...
Cal Turner Program for Moral Leadership in the Professions
Mar. 5, 2010—We did a redesign for the Cal Turner Program for Moral Leadership in the Professions and moved it into WordPress.
