California School Boards Association

CSBA had a Web site that was about 10 years old and need a major redesign to improve usability and manageability.  I was the only Web developer in the organization, so we had to hire a integration company to assist me in the process.

I designed the theme of CSBA’s new Web site.  One of the cool features of the site was the side bar navigation menu.  The menu is dynamically contructed by using an XSLT template to generate an XHTML menu from XML data.  I was responsible for vendor selection, cms software selection, cms training and certification, information architecture design, web author training, budgeting and coordinating with staff on content migration.

Software packages that were chosen for this Web site: Sitecore CMS to manage content and to integrate with CSBA’s iMIS membership database, ASPDotNetStoreFront for the online bookstore, and Google Search Appliance for site search.  Visit CSBA’s new Web site for more details.
