This is just a quick post about a newly redesigned website: Macalester College’s.
Nick Balcom Raleigh, Online Communications Coordinator at Macalester, emailed me a couple of weeks ago about the redesign – so it’s about time I share it with you :-)
The new version was developed in-house by a team of four and has replaced a previous design from 2004.
Nick explained that the new design is built using the open-source CSS framework Blueprint, jQuery and jQuery UI plugin to enhance interactive elements and is compliant with W3C and ADA.
I really like how the live Facebook feed is integrated in the footer.
The contrast between the main area and the footer/background with bright colors in the former and sepia tones in the second makes this design even more powerful. If you want to read more about its different features, you can have a look at this post written by the team.
What do you think?
