Sneak Peek

Yes, yes, I know, I know. I'm up way too late again. Nothing like putting all your money on a snow day. Ah well, the fruits of labor are sweet. I've been working on Northern Dutchess Christian School's new website. So here's the progression:

The new site I started tonight - I like it. Mucho Grande. The colors are fresh and the lines work well... very moving, very fluid. The little update boxes on the bottom make me really, really happy. (It's almost all finished...)

The semi-new site I put together - very, very plain. It reminds me slightly of either dry oatmeal or wallpaper paste. Can't decide which.

Their "old" site - done in FrontPage and ugly as a weed-whacked camel. Anyone want to submit it to Worst of the Web?

Comments?

Just checked out the new NDCS website for the fun of it - it truely IS beautiful! Praise God for His Blessings to this wonderful school! I have been waiting ohhh so long for the new site and it does not disappoint! Thanks very much and I am looking forward to its continued update.

21 February 20052. JDG:

Thanks! What's really going to be nice is what's to come! We just purchased a program called Movable Type that will allow our administration to login and post to the website just as easily as writing an email... this should make updating the website simple, and therefore useable! Imagine being able to find out from the NDCS site about school closings the day of!

YourThoughts?
