This website design and development project was the second GreenLite project I worked on for Michigan State University. The Department of Human Development and Family Studies went through a rebranding process. Their former name (Family and Child Ecology) was becoming outdated and irrelevant along with their former website at http://fce.msu.edu.

MSU HDFS required extensive information architecture. With several audiences including prospective and current graduate students, similar undergraduate students, current faculty, and potential donors and grant writers, there was a plethora of information to provide. In addition, HDFS wanted to showcase their faculty as a way to entice prospective graduate students. 

I led the development effort for this project, using extensive Drupal modules including CCK and Views. We created custom content types for Faculty Members and Non-Faculty staff, and then we created views to display faculty in various departments as well as in a main faculty listing. HDFS website administrators can now add, edit, and organize faculty members by filling out a simple form on their website. 

I helped my mom start a website for her business, Body Transformation by KJ. This was one of my first Drupal projects, so it was a great learning experience. I started by purchasing a domain name and hosting account, and then I did a native install of Drupal 6.x. I did all of the development of this site from installing the databases to configuring the blog. 

I wrote a majority of the content for this site (except the blog) and integrated it using the TinyMCE editor with Drupal's WYSIWYG module. I also developed the logo for the website, which is now used on all branded material including business cards, flyers, and published books. KJ hosts a number of fitness classes in the Massachusetts area, so I helped her create a PayPal account and add custom payment buttons, allowing people to sign up for classes through the website.
