Craft Web Project

...Standards Based Web Design

Website? Blog? Why both?

Written by Bill on December 20th, 2009

First, the Website:

http://www.craftwebproject.com

This is an almost identical copy of the info that is available inside the Mesa College Course Management System (WebCT-Vista).  I keep it up for two reasons:

  1. New students can review the content of the course before the course starts and before they can log on to WebCT.
  2. Previous Students can’t log in to WebCT after the course officially ends.  The website will give those students a place to go back and review things they learned in the course and to use some of the links and info that have ongoing value.

The website is fairly stable.  It doesn’t change much over time.


Next, the Blog:

http://www.craftwebproject.com/blog

During every class session I learn along with the students.  Students ask questions, the Mesa Website tries something new, I read something that is really interesting about web design, and I go to conferences and meetings about web design.  These issues and bits of information are not strictly “part of the course” but in a way they are.  If you like web design, you like to get better at it and you are probably interested in what’s new in the field.

So the blog gives us a place to chat about web design and a place for those discussions to go on after you have completed the course and no longer have access to WebCT.

Please feel free to jump into the blog at any time.

    Clear, readable design! I like the color scheme and the 4-column layout with 1 sidebar column before the content. Very nice!
