Project Conceived: April 2010
Project Completed: June 2010
The layout was based on our sister newspaper web site, the Asbury Park Press in Neptune, New Jersey. However, I added and tweaked some aspects to make our page look like our very own.
Front-page Tweaks:
– The news ticker was coded in HTML, CSS and JavaScript and pulls in the latest ten stories from the paper’s content management system.
– The four red tabs were coded in HTML, CSS and AJAX. Each tab contains specific content. When a person clicks on a tab, the section loads immediately without reloading the page.
– I tweaked the original template’s color scheme from light-blue to burgandy. I utilized Adobe Photoshop to carefully re-color every button, border and image holders without re-sizing the image.
– The center news well was organized.
