This portfolio is updated regularly. Please come back to view more of my work.
Why don't I include links to my work? Because I usually train my clients to update their own websites, and so I can't take credit for 100% of the work. At handover, I take a snapshot of the website and this is what you see here.
York Enterprise Portal
York Enterprise Portal

Project Type: Update & Create.
CMS Option: Custom CMS
Timeframe: 5 months

The Client
The University of York is one of the UK's top 10 universities, and has an excellent reputation as a centre of excellence in enterprise education and entrepreneurship.

The Brief
To create an Enterprise Portal website to draw together all the various strands of Enterprise work at the University whilst meeting corporate visual identity and strict accessibility guidelines. This involved updating the Enterprise and Innovation Office website, and creating the Student & CETLE websites from scratch.

The Result
The University as a whole was set to move to a new corporate web template, and after some negotiation it was agreed that I could have access to the basic XHTML to produce the enterprise websites. This took away some of the front end work, enabling me to focus more on design and content. The scope of the project in terms of the content was immense. The websites would have a real impact on student interaction with the entire enterprise strand, and the website would also affect the way students and staff worked together. The design was simple but the complex aspect was to integrate so many existing systems into a seamless package. Calendars, Events, Databases you name it, it was included. A custom CMS built on the University Coldfusion and SQL services was created as a management tool.
