Nuclear Energy Information Service

Nuclear Energy Information Service was the first site I did. When I started, I didn't know anything. I learned Dreamweaver, HTML and CSS Style sheets by working on the NEIS site. I also learned the difference between editing - which I often do on this site - and rewriting, which is needed in places but beyond my scope as webmaster.

I redid the navigation and the page template twice - in fact, a third makeover is long overdue. Here is the current look; here was my first design for NEIS, and here is what the pages looked like when I got there.

Shambhala Meditation Center of Chicago

I have done the Shambhala Meditation Center of Chicago's web site for quite a while. It used to look like this; now there is a new look derived from a design by Blue Mandala in Canada.

The site is actually split across two domains; new look pages are on Shambhala International servers over which I have no control, and other features ( weekly email list tool, member polls, etc. ) are on Arvixe.com servers where I can get stuff done. I would pull everything of the SI servers, but need to interact with their databases ...

Shambhala International

The site was also designed by someone else; I took over maintenence in November 2007.

Management By Design

The main task here was to clean up the site. The pages had broken because over-sized content had broken the table based layout. A little photoshop and some quick editing tuned things up. You can see the site at www.managementbydesign.net
