By August 31, 2010, my team had launched a new website. The site hadn’t been redesigned in more than 5 years, and the architecture hadn’t been revised in over 7 years.  About the new site:

  • was the library’s first content management system implementation (ever)
  • migrated from Dreamweaver mini-sites to Drupal 6 content management system
  • launched revised architecture, content, photos
  • site included new landing page design
  • used Solr enterprise search for website search
  • took 3 months to build (3 full-time workers, 3 student employees)
  • site includes dynamic news, hours, and location content

The current site appeared very dark in color and lacked a welcoming color harmony throughout the site. They wanted to keep all of the images and content, however they were looking to reorganize the information.

Original site

Redesigned site

The site is still in development and hasn’t launched, however you can see the purple hue was lightened and a monotone color scheme was established. The home page will have rotating images as an initial large photo present was important to keep for them. The content is now being reorganized to display current information and they are looking to add interactive elements such as a calendar, rss feed, and other Web 2.0 features.
